The levels (of glyphosate that the) French researchers found in sperm were four times higher than in the men’s blood
Eating organic produce did not have a clear impact on levels.

I get that Organic is not an end all solution but I swear not enough people realize that eating produce that was grown in roundup ready acid probably isn’t a valid solution either.
It’s kind of annoying that there’s no easy way to tell how something was grown because it could range anything from barely any added targeted weed killer to air dropped agent orange (/s) lol.
Lots of non organic farms can be perfectly healthy if they opt to control weeds with a variety of methods instead of letting
MonsantoBayer nuke the soil.Roundup also weakens the plants overall by letting them survive weeds over and over without developing their own defences
Most plants survive just fine on their own.
What spraying herbicide like glyphosate does is evolutionarily select for pesticide resistant weeds, aka superweeds. Free gift link for you.
Roundup acid? Now there’s a phrase I’ve never heard before. Depending on if it’s buffered or not Roundup can have a pH of 3.5 to 9. But it’s not the pH of glyphosate that makes it an effective herbicide. I’d probably not use that phrase in the future because it’s a distraction that undermines your point.
