Even Low Doses of Glyphosate Can Trigger Cancer.

A groundbreaking 2-year controlled study on rats—considered the gold standard for cancer research—found that even “safe” levels of glyphosate exposure caused multiple types of cancer, including leukemia, liver, thyroid, kidney, and brain tumors. Even at the lowest doses, rats began dying of leukemia in under a year—something not seen in over 1,600 control animals from previous research.

This comes alongside a $611 million court ruling against Bayer (formerly Monsanto) for causing cancer in humans through Roundup, which contains glyphosate. Over 280 million pounds of this chemical are sprayed on U.S. crops yearly—and it’s showing up in everything from grain-fed beef to “organic” honey. While regulators continue to claim these levels are harmless, the data—and the growing cancer cases—say otherwise.

Avoid glyphosate exposure as much as possible by choosing organic produce and grass-fed meat from trusted sources—not all “clean” labels mean safe.
