    PFSA… kinda?, glyphosate…maybe…? honestly we’ve done a ton of studies since glyphosate was first created in the 70s there really aren’t any known significant health risks. Personally I’d be more concerned about the environmental problems of herbicides running off and affecting the wider environment.

      really aren’t any known significant health risks.

      Just a known carcinogen in our food. Why have cancer rates exploded? Oh, I dunno. Lol.

      I was just casually pointing out some of the better known substances. The true risks are the >350,000 novel chemical compounds we make and release into the environment in ever increasing volumes with no meaningful data on the short or long term repercussions.

      You want to be concerned about something? It’s not the dangers of the things we know of. It’s what we don’t see coming that’s going to get us.

      We are exceeding our planetary boundaries.
