Category: Roundup Weedkiller

For decades, people around the United States relied on Roundup to kill weeds and help their plants and crops prosper. From commercial farmers to your next-door neighbor with a flower bed, almost everyone used Roundup. That is, until word started to get out that Roundup contained a dangerous chemical called glyphosate. 

This widely used chemical is readily available to the general public even though many studies have pointed to its toxicity to humans with many people developing terminal cancer after being exposed to large amounts of glyphosate. Just how damaging glyphosate is to fertility and general human health is yet to be seen, but so far, it’s not looking good. 

Here, we’ll explore everything you need to know about whether it’s ok to use Roundup around your pets, and other tips to keep your dog or cat safe when they’re outside in your yard. 

As a parent, you work hard to keep your kids as safe as possible, and it’s scary to think that dangerous chemicals could be making their way into your child’s lunchbox. While there are plenty of scary ingredients that can make their way into foods, a recent research report focused on the inclusion of glyphosate in kid-friendly foods like Oreos, Doritos, Goldfish, and Cheerios.

The active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, has been at the center of controversy due to allegations linking it to cancer. These legal defeats not only pose a significant financial threat to Bayer but also raise concerns about the safety of one of the world's most popular herbicides.
