Samples were collected while the participants ate their usual diet, then after they ate an organic diet. Levels of glyphosate in the urine dropped dramatically after only a few days.
The conclusion: “This research adds to a growing body of literature indicating that an organic diet may reduce exposure to a range of pesticides in children and adults.”
An organic diet was associated with significantly reduced urinary levels of glyphosate and AMPA. The reduction in glyphosate and AMPA levels was rapid, dropping to baseline within three days. This study demonstrates that diet is a primary source of glyphosate exposure and that shifting to an organic...
