5 Potential Problems with Glyphosate

Thanks to glyphosate hitting the news so much over the past 1.5 months, GMO Truth #6 wound up taking a completely different direction here than originally planned. Substantial Equivalence was set to be the topic, but instead glyphosate takes center stage, since it’s been around since 1974 (when Monsanto first released Roundup), and was such an important component in the dawn of GMOs.
