LOL talk about trace amounts.

Then the best part, the high comedy part, comes when they actually did report the levels. The levels were way, WAY under even the level the antis claim is doing harm.

Positive results ranged from 4.33 parts per billion (“ppb”) to an "alarming" 26.05 ppb. Chemical farming proponents will claim that these levels are too low to cause harm, and are lower than the EPA's allowable glyphosate residue level of 30 ppm on citrus, but these claims are irrelevant in comparison to new data. Studies have shown that only 0.1 ppm (100ppb) of glyphosate destroys beneficial gut bacteria, weakening the immune system, which can lead to a wide variety of health and neurological issues.

Additionally, 1 part per trillion (ppt) has been shown to stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. 1 ppt is equivalent to 1 drop in the water of 22 Olympic swimming pools combined. Considering that studies show glyphosate bioaccumulates in bone marrow, any amount ingested is unacceptable.

So if you're pouring orange juice directly on a specific kind of cancer cell, it's gonna grow? OH NOES!!!!!1!

A part per trillion in a cup of OJ does not convert to a part per trillion in your titty sprinkles cancer.

Worry about something with the potential to actually harm you, like meteors from outer space.

The orange juice is bad for you, never mind the roundup.
