Even at ‘Safe’ Levels, Glyphosate Disrupts Immune Function, New Study Suggests
Investigators at the University of Iowa found that at levels approximating the U.S. Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) — 1.75 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day — glyphosate altered the gut microbiome composition and induced “a pro-inflammatory environment.”
https://childrenshealthdefense.ca/news/even-at-safe-levels-glyphosate-disrupts-immune-function-new-study-suggests/
In comparison, according to Canadian charity Safe Food Matters who is currently suing Health Canada over glyphosate, Canada’s ADI is 0.3 mg of glyphosate per kg body weight per day, based on Health Canada's PMRA's 2015 Proposed Re-evaluation Decision PRVD2015-01, Glyphosate. However, PMRA didn’t apply the 10-fold safety factor for children in this decision, so the ADI should be a decimal place lower, as studies show glyphosate affects children’s health.
A recent study from UC Berkeley School of Public Health shows childhood exposure to glyphosate is linked to liver inflammation and metabolic disorder in early adulthood, which could lead to liver cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease later in life.

Canada's pesticide agency PMRA has failed to warn Canadians their sports fields, golf courses and vegetable farms could expose them to dangerous levels of a pesticide so toxic that American authorities published an unusual public warning in May.

Striving for transparency: Why Canada’s pesticide regulations need an overhaul
Canada is long-overdue for scientifically-driven, robust and transparent pesticide regulation. A newly created Science Advisory Committee aims to address this.
It’s been 3 yrs since Health Canada/PMRA Announced a “Transformation Agenda” for #Pesticides in #Canada 🇨🇦.
Conclusion: Nothing.
