Washing produce is often seen as a simple way to remove pesticides. But does that apply to glyphosate? This article explores where that assumption holds — and where it doesn’t.
Rising breast cancer rates and widespread chemical exposure. Coincidence—or connection? Explore the science behind Roundup, hormones, and women’s health.
A South African test found trace glyphosate in a baby cereal also sold in New Zealand. The level was low and below the default limit, but the finding still raises a fair question: should products made for infants contain any detectable residue at all?
Hormones guide development, fertility, metabolism, and the health of entire ecosystems — yet endocrine disruption remains one of the biggest blind spots in New Zealand’s chemical safety system. This four-part investigative series examines what glyphosate-based herbicides are doing to hormonal systems across species and why regulators still can’t see the risks.
New Zealand still evaluates glyphosate with tests that can’t detect the low-dose, timing-specific endocrine effects modern science has uncovered. This final article in our series explores how the regulatory system fell behind—and why it still can’t see the risks right in front of us.
Endocrine disruption isn’t abstract — it shows up in humans, farm animals, wildlife, and entire ecosystems. This article explores what those hormonal shifts look like in the real world, and why the science points to far more than a lab-based concern.
Is glyphosate an endocrine disruptor? New research suggests it might be, with studies showing hormonal interference in human cells, animals, and wildlife. This article explores what the evidence shows — and why regulators may be overlooking one of glyphosate’s most important risks.
Most people don’t know what the endocrine system actually is — or how easily it can be disrupted by everyday chemicals. This simple guide explains how hormones work, why tiny changes matter, and why endocrine disruption is emerging as one of the biggest public-health blind spots.
Melanoma has long been framed as New Zealand’s “sunlight problem.” But new international research suggests herbicide exposure may also play a role — even after UV is accounted for. Could the same patterns be unfolding here? It’s time to ask harder questions about our chemical landscape.
New Zealand cows are being fed glyphosate-sprayed pasture — often without consumers knowing and without any herbicide testing in milk. Here’s what this means for animal health, offal eaters, and our food safety system.
