RoundUp, Monsanto's brand name for one of the most popular weedkillers in the world, isn't supposed to be applied to humans. Yet because of its ubiquity in landscaping and agriculture, glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp and other comparable pesticides, has escaped the bounds of pests and entered the bodies of the vast majority of Americans.
That's according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which found that 80 percent of Americans have glyphosate in their urine.
