Roundup® has always been sold as “glyphosate in a bottle.” But the real product is a chemical cocktail of surfactants, solvents, and hidden co-formulants — many more toxic than glyphosate itself. Here’s how Roundup really works, why regulators overlook it, and why NZ can’t afford to
Gluten often gets the blame for digestive distress, but what if something else is at play?

Could the real culprit in wheat sensitivity be the chemical sprayed on it, rather than the grain itself?
Coffee is the daily ritual for millions — but recent US testing found trace glyphosate in 57 products across 45 brands. Levels were low, yet the question remains: what does “safe” really mean when a chemical shows up in nearly everything we eat and drink? One day, we’d like to see the same testing in New Zealand’s coffee.
Honey is sold as pure, healing, and good for the immune system—but what happens when trace glyphosate is in the jar too? Even beekeepers say it’s everywhere.

After years of unexplained illness, Robyn discovered high glyphosate levels through independent testing. Her journey reveals just how deeply it can impact health — and hope.
A major U.S. study found widespread pesticide exposure in homes, water, and urine. New Zealand isn't testing—so how would we know if it’s happening here too?
Glyphosate is everywhere — in food, parks, even playgrounds. So why isn’t there any way to test for it in New Zealand? And why does the Ministry seem determined not to know?
New OIA documents reveal that New Zealand’s hospital system doesn’t track glyphosate exposure — and no agency appears to be connecting the dots. That’s a problem.
