Monsanto's Roundup may be linked to fatal kidney disease, new study suggests

5. This is from the abstract to the study:

"The possible role played by glyphosate-metal complexes in this epidemic has not been given any serious consideration by investigators for the last two decades. Furthermore, it may explain similar kidney disease epidemics observed in Andra Pradesh (India) and Central America. Although glyphosate alone does not cause an epidemic of chronic kidney disease, it seems to have acquired the ability to destroy the renal tissues of thousands of farmers when it forms complexes with a localized geo environmental factor (hardness) and nephrotoxic metals."

The key being "not given any serious consideration by investigators..."

Or, of course, regulators.

And given how widespread the use of the stuff is, and all the environmental havoc being wreaked in general, it's time for that serious consideration to start.
