#2Glyphosate is being found in US drinking water too:
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5486281/
- https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/risk/...
The common message is Glyphosate has a very short (ish) half life in soil. What happens when it enters the water table first?

Depends on your definition, the smart ones made a killing (literally and probably figuratively) convincing people this stuff is safe. These people will never receive any consequences for their actions, aside from the ones we all collectively face.

It seems like the half-life in water is less than that in soil:
>* From literature studies, glyphosate’s half-life in surface waters and soil ranges from 2 to 91 days and from 2 to 215 days, respectively (Battaglin et al. 2014; Castro Berman et al. 2018).

#6> To this point, Ulrich also found elevated levels of fluoride and vanadium—both of which are linked to kidney damage—in the drinking water of most all of the communities with high incidence of CKDu.
How much of the damage is actually from the hard water and the high glyphosate is a correlation (because of the hard water) and not causation?

Meanwhile we can’t get the fda to add sunscreens ingredients list for decades, even while the rest of the world uses them, regulatory capture fun.

#8Have y'all seen the movie "Don't Look Up"?
It's a reference to the climate crisis but could very well be a reference to industrial agriculture. Then again, the climate crisis is largely rooted in our agricultural industrial complex. It's wild when I see folks defending the use of glyphosate... the movie does a great job demonstrating this sort of predicament.
edit: looks like I am already being downvoted. outstanding.

An actived carbon filter will remove ~99.9% of Glyphosate from water, if for human consumption.
(source water from a ~100ft deep water table next to a large ag plot at a property, have both pre and post filter water tested to validate filtration effectiveness)

Hey, trust the experts.
