Q: How extensive is human exposure to glyphosate?
Because of its widespread use, glyphosate is in water, food and dust, so it’s likely almost everyone has been exposed. And human exposure, through food and water, will probably increase in tandem with growing use of the weed killer, according to a 2016 study published in the journal Environmental Sciences Europe.
But little is known about the magnitude of human exposure, because food and water are not regularly tested for glyphosate residue. However, a few years ago, researchers tested the urine of a small group of people across the United States and found glyphosate residue in 93% of them.

I became interested in 24-D spraying in national and state forests around 1980 and met people with testicular cancer and women who had had mole pregnancies from exposure. The basis of Roundup (dioxin) is the same as 24-D.
So, spraying Roundup on your yard might give you testicular cancer or mole pregnancies depending upon whether you are a man or a woman. It could be even worse for you if you are a child.
Mole pregnancies caused by Dioxin can also result in 4 arms, two heads, and other problems in children after a mother is exposed to Roundup, 24-D or agent Orange. For example, in Viet Nam abnormal children with 3 arms two heads 4 legs etc. have been being born in the DMZ that was sprayed with Agent Orange now ever since the Viet Nam War.
