Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, is controversial regarding its long-term health impacts. While short-term exposure is considered less toxic than table salt, concerns arise over prolonged use. This article delves into the divisive scientific discourse surrounding glyphosate's potential long-term risks and explores the varying perspectives on its connection to cancer, liver and kidney damage, reproductive issues, and the specific risks for pregnant women and children.

Cancer:

Studies on glyphosate's link to cancer present conflicting results, sparking debates among experts. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) labels glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in a 2020 statement, asserts that glyphosate poses no risk to humans when used as directed and is unlikely to cause cancer in humans. But there are 86,153 active & inactive Toxic Chemicals that can contaminate your drinking and household water

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees 90 of them. The others have "no legal limit", so they are not reported. That's why the EPA statement cannot be supported.

Liver and Kidney Damage: Emerging Concerns

Emerging concerns surround glyphosate's potential impact on the liver and kidneys. Studies involving dairy cows consuming soybeans with high glyphosate levels suggest an elevated risk of liver and kidney damage. This raises questions about the herbicide's broader implications for human health.

Reproductive and Developmental Issues:

The EPA's 2020 statement asserts no evidence of glyphosate interfering with the endocrine system or human hormones. Yet, reproductive and developmental issues remains a contentious topic.

Glyphosate (GLY, N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) is the most widely used broad spectrum herbicide in agricultural, commercial, and residential areas in the United States.

Pregnant women and children, especially, have a greater risk of becoming susceptible to carcinogens.

“Pesticide exposure in pregnancy, especially in early pregnancy, can imprint DNA and alter gene expression,” said Paul Winchester, MD, professor of clinical pediatrics and the study’s lead author.

According to recent studies, Trace amounts of GLY are found in nearly every pregnant woman in the U.S. First-trimester urine GLY levels were significantly correlated with reduced fetal growth.

Childhood Glyphosate Exposure: A Link to Future Health Risks

Recent research from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health has uncovered concerning connections between childhood exposure to glyphosate, the world's most widely used weed killer. This exposure has been linked to health issues in early adulthood. The study involved 480 mother-child duos from California's Salinas Valley, a prominent agricultural region. Findings, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, suggest that higher levels of glyphosate residue and its degradation product, AMPA, in childhood and adolescence correlate with an elevated risk of liver inflammation and metabolic disorders at age 18.

Acute Effects

While long-term risks spark debates, acute effects of glyphosate exposure are notable. Ingestion leads to increased saliva, burns, and mouth and throat pain, as well as irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, and throat. Severe cases can result in nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Tragically, intentional ingestion of glyphosate-containing products leads to fatalities.

Water Filtration Systems for Glyphosate Removal

Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, has raised concerns about its presence in water sources. Here are some methods recommended for removing glyphosate from water:

1. Activated Carbon Filters:
