I found this article interesting. Don't know if this is junk science but my family monitors what is in our food and where it comes from: http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/mit...utism-by-2025/

It is a hot button issue for sure, but not junk science at all. (My opinion of course) Big pharma would go out of business if we were a healthy population. Watching what goes in your food is a good call. This is just one of the many articles highlighting glyphosate found in vaccines as well. https://www.ecowatch.com/glyphosate-...999343362.htmlI found this article interesting.

Nope, I don't trust Monsanto and I suspect glyphosate for a lot of health issues. Hadn't heard it might be in vaccines! I can't bear to read that article!

Just remember that correlation does not mean causation. So for example you could point to anything that is being increasingly used and say it correlates with rising incidences if autism. It simply means they are both going up in the same direction. Causation on the other hand means there is a direct link that one CAUSES the other which is not what this article is saying.
Much more research must be done to prove anything worthwhile here.

While they are figuring it out, I will continue to buy organic food and stay away from glyphosate. Just remember that correlation does not mean causation.

I just ordered Silent Spring by Rachel Carson (marine biologist). It is an environmental science book from 1962. 
This was the description that caught my attention.
"documented the detrimental effects on the environment of the indiscriminate use of pesticides. Carson accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation and public officials of accepting industry claims."

Even Organic can contain it unfortunately. However this program is worth looking into so you can be completely safe.While they are figuring it out, I will continue to buy organic food and stay away from glyphosate.

Great site, thanks! Even Organic can contain it unfortunately. However this program is worth looking into so you can be completely safe.

"eating a certified organic diet (with only charcoal filtered water) for 3 weeks could potentially detox the glyphosate from your body"
Good thing I use the LifeSource filtering system in my home that is coconut shell granular activated carbon and eat mostly certified organic foods. https://www.lifesourcewater.com/our-technology.php
