A lot of this information around glyphosate is pure fear mongering. Many studies by the WHO, European Food Safety Authority, and European Chemicals agency have found it to likely NOT pose any major carcinogenic risks. The IARC report is latched onto as the only major group to make that claim. Even if their findings were backed up by further studies, which they aren’t, IARC places it in their risk group 2a which contains yerba mate, red meat, and hot drinks. So make of that what you will
