FDA: Weedkiller found in foods

The Guardian obtained internal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) emails about glyphosate found in our food supply. The FDA study on this has yet to be released but these emails were obtained by a Freedom Of Information (FOI) request. The current Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) study concludes that "glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.  The Agency’s assessment found no other meaningful risks to human health when the product is used according to the pesticide label." Not surprisingly, the World Health Organization (WHO) maintains it does cause cancer, as does their International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
