Children aren’t just “small adults” — their growing bodies and brains are more vulnerable to chemicals like glyphosate. Yet regulators rarely account for this in their safety claims. From cereals and honey to school fields and waterways, glyphosate shows up where our kids live, learn, and eat. Isn’t it time precaution came before complacency?
Can one chemical affect male and female bodies differently? A new study says yes. Roundup® caused sex-specific liver damage in zebrafish, exposing a blind spot in glyphosate safety claims.
Colorectal cancer rates are rising in young Māori — and so is exposure to glyphosate through work. This article examines the pattern no one wants to talk about: unequal risk.
Glyphosate has been flagged as “probably carcinogenic” and tied to billions in global lawsuits. Yet New Zealand is considering raising residue limits on our food. With some of the world’s highest rates of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and colorectal cancer, how much longer can we ignore the warnings?
New research shows glyphosate and Roundup® are finding their way into poultry feed, organs, and even eggs. It raises an urgent question: how safe is New Zealand’s food chain?
We’re told glyphosate is safe “within limits.” But a 2024 scientific review tells a different story—linking it to cancer, hormone disruption, and DNA damage. With MPI pushing to raise residue limits, and no biomonitoring in New Zealand, the question is: how safe is safe?
Glyphosate isn’t just on our farms — it’s in our bread, cereals, and honey. New research shows real risks even at “safe” levels. So can anyone, in good conscience, still claim glyphosate is compatible with human health?
A major peer-reviewed study has revealed how glyphosate interferes with kidney repair, metabolism, and cancer defences. Yet MPI, EPA, and the Ministry of Health continue to look the other way — even as they propose raising residue limits by 9,900%. How much longer can New Zealand regulators ignore the evidence?
The Ministry of Health is legally mandated to protect public health. Yet while MPI pushes for a staggering 9,900% increase in glyphosate residues on our food crops, the Ministry has stayed silent. Where is their duty of care, and why are they ignoring mounting evidence of harm?
