Debunking More Misleading Arguments About Glyphosate Safety
From “even water is toxic” to “the EU approved it,” we tackle the arguments that sound scientific — but fall apart under scrutiny.
Fact Check: Does Glyphosate Really Pass Straight Through the Body?
Glyphosate doesn’t “just pass through.” We fact-check popular claims about bioaccumulation, parts per billion, and the “safer than salt” myth.
Protecting Our Children: Why Glyphosate Risks Can’t Be Ignored
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?
Hidden Differences: How Roundup® Affects Male and Female Bodies Unequally
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.
Fleur’s Fight, Our Warning: What NZ Must Learn from France’s Pesticide Revolt
When a French cancer patient stood up to lawmakers over pesticide policy, the world took notice. New Zealand should too — before it's too late.
Unequal Risk: Māori, Glyphosate Exposure, and the Rising Tide of Colorectal Cancer
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 Red Flags: Why New Zealand Can’t Keep Ignoring the Warnings
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?
Chicken, Eggs, and Roundup: The Hidden Glyphosate Risks in New Zealand’s Poultry System
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?
Glyphosate and Human Health: What the Science Really Shows
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?
No One in Good Conscience Can Claim That Glyphosate is Compatible With Human Health
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?
