An overwhelming number of urine samples from adults and children in a new health study contained glyphosate, the active weedkilling chemical that has been linked to cancer, according to a report by a unit of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Out of 2,310 urine samples, 80%, or 1,885, were laced with traces of the chemical, which is the active ingredient found in herbicides worldwide, including Roundup, the focus of thousands of lawsuits, reported The Guardian.
About one-third of the participants in the study were children ages 6 to 18, the report said.
