A shocking report reveals that diquat, the herbicide now replacing glyphosate in many Roundup products, is about 200× more toxic and has been shown to damage organs, kill beneficial gut bacteria, and disrupt your gut lining—according to a Friends of the Earth analysis of EPA data.

USDA scientists have linked the worst U.S. honeybee die-off on record—a staggering ~60% colony loss—to pesticide-resistant Varroa mites spreading deadly viruses, notably deformed-wing viral strains A & B, and acute bee paralysis virus. Mites resistant to the last line pesticide, amitraz, failed to stop the viral spread—signaling a massive warning for bee health and ecosystems.

A 2025 study by UC Davis analyzed 201 toddlers (ages 2–4) from four U.S. states and found 96 different chemicals in their urine—48 found in over half of the kids, 34 in more than 90%—many not even tracked by national surveys.

A 2025 analysis in Frontiers in Nutrition by He, Wang & Li used data from 12,432 U.S. adults to link specific pesticide chemicals—including the herbicide 2,4-D, organophosphates, and glyphosate—to poorer overall cardiovascular health.
