Nevertheless, the EPA has continued to insist that glyphosate is safe, hence Roundup and other herbicides containing the controversial ingredient are still being sold.  Fortunately, last month a court decided in favor of petitioners who challenged the EPA's claim and the agency must now re-evaluate glyphosate's risks.  In the meantime, Roundup victims continue to win lawsuits against the manufacturer (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and the CDC has discovered that most Americans have glyphosate in our urine.  Sounds like grounds for more lawsuits, doesn't it?

(Newser) – "People of all ages should be concerned, but I'm particularly concerned for children." So says one scientist interviewed by the Guardian in reaction to a new CDC study that found glyphosate in 80% of US urine samples. The study used 2,310 samples from what was meant to be a group representative of the US population, nearly a third of them children. Detectable amounts of the weedkilling chemical, the active ingredient in herbicides including Roundup, was found in 1,885 of them. Glyphosate has been linked to cancer. "I expect that the realization that most of us have glyphosate in our urine will be disturbing to many people," says another scientist.
