Glyphosate herbicide should be banned, Brazil’s public prosecutor says

Regarding glyphosate, new evidence suggests that it can become very toxic to the human kidney once it is mixed with “hard” water or metals like arsenic, cadmium, magnesium, strontium and iron, as well as others. Glyphosate is toxic enough on its own. This product is used extensively in the united States farming community, sprayed on most corn and soybean fields despite the mounting evidence suggesting its toxicity which leads to adverse health effects in both animals and people. Contact your State representatives and express your concerns about this product being used so widely in the US.
