12. For those worried about glyphosate

Glyphosate is rated least dangerous in comparison to other herbicides and pesticides, such as those from the organochlorine family.[37] Roundup has a United States Environmental Protection Agency‎ (EPA) Toxicity Class of III (on a I to IV scale, where IV is least dangerous) for oral and inhalation exposure.[38] It does not bioaccumulate, and breaks down rapidly in the environment.[39]

The United States Environmental Protection Agency‎ (EPA) considers glyphosate to be relatively low in toxicity, and without carcinogenic effects.[40] The EPA considered a "worst case" dietary risk model of an individual eating a lifetime of food entirely from glyphosate-sprayed fields, and with residue levels remaining at their maximum levels, and concluded no adverse effects would exist under these conditions[40] In 2007, the EPA selected glyphosate for further screening for endocrinal disruptor effects, not because of suspected effects, but because glyphosate is a widely-used herbicide (the EPA has stated selection for screening does not itself imply risk).[41][42]



Now the other chemicals added to glyphosate may be problem.
