Show Notes
A Duke University study warns of glyphosates potential harm: even trace amounts, combined with metals, can damage kidneys over time, as seen in adult zebrafish. Farmworkers, who handle glyphosate daily, are at the highest risk. The study also highlights how glyphosate amplifies metal buildup in kidneys, like cadmium from food or water. Officials advise caution, especially in metal-heavy areas. Homeowners can opt for safer alternatives like vinegar sprays or mulching with newspaper and cardboard.
