Monsanto's Herbicide Linked to Fatal Kidney Disease Epidemic: Could It Topple Monsanto?

21. I have a problem

As I've written before, I work in watershed management and would love to see credible scientific evidence that glyphosate is a danger to human health. After reading the articles several times, I still do not understand how the following facts are connected:

1. Glyphosate binds with heavy metals in soils and persists there for years.

2. Glyphosate can enter the body through the air, skin or with food and/or drink.

3. If glyphosate bonded with a heavy metal it would prevent the liver from detecting and detoxifying it, and could then damage the kidneys.

Question: How does a metal bonded to glyphosate get into the body?

Glyphosate is sprayed into the air, and can get into the body that way, but has no opportunity to bind with a heavy metal in the process. Glyphosate that binds with a heavy metal in the soil has no easy way to get into the body.

Conclusion: If heavy metals are in such abundance in an environment that they could bind with glyphosate and get into the body in quantities high enough to damage the kidneys, the heavy metals alone are clearly a danger to human health with or without the presence of glyphosate.
