“For years Monsanto has claimed that glyphosate (a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide used to kill weeds), the key active ingredient in its Roundup-brand herbicide is ‘safe’ because the human body excretes it,” said Ronnie Cummins, national director of the Organic Consumers Association. “This pilot study is the first of its kind to prove that Monsanto is wrong.  In fact, this preliminary study shows that glyphosate accumulates in our bodies, and mothers are now passing the toxin on to their infants via breast milk.”
