Dr. Ana-Maria Temple points out that 82% of Americans aged six and older have detectable glyphosate in their urine. Kids get exposed daily through baby food and school lunches, yet there's no long-term safety data for children or developing fetuses. A Canadian study found 74% of pregnant women tested positive for glyphosate.
Glyphosate exposure is not rare. A recent study done in the United States showed that 82% of Americans 6 years and older have positive glyphosate in their urine. There's no long-term safety data done on children and developing babies. The glyphosate exposure is not just sometimes, it's daily in our children's baby food, in their snacks, in their school lunches. And we can't go by without thinking about pregnancy. A recent study done in Canada showed that 74% of pregnant women tested positive for glyphosate in their urine, and 72% tested positive for AMPA, which is a major metabolite of glyphosate. Pregnancy and early childhood are not just windows in time, they're the most vulnerable times.
