Seems to me, after reading the story carefully, that the really nasty stuff is at the end, following the graf that starts with “But recent research suggests that the glyphosate levels still might be significant.”

This part of the article argues that the EPA safe level is too high, based on research by Antoniou. Strom turns to David Schubert for rah rahs on the Anoniou study, who links it to a completely different study by Breanna Ford that purports to show:

•Mechanisms of toxicity for the herbicide glyphosate are not well understood
•We used activity-based protein profiling to look for glyphosate targets in mice
•Glyphosate is metabolized to glyoxylate and reacts with cysteines on liver proteins
•Glyoxylate inhibits fatty acid oxidation and glyphosate increases liver fat

Strom gives Schubert the last word, and allows Gillam, Cummins, and Regeneration Vermont to pile on. She does go back to the FDA, but falsely implies it doesn’t test milk even though it does.

The idea that glyphosate can cause problems for humans in trace amounts needs to be addressed because that’s what the hippies are claiming.
