We cannot take a position on pesticides. However, Penn State Extension published a fact sheet titled 'Glyphosate (Roundup): Understanding Risks to Human Health' which you might find informative. Here is a link to the fact sheet: https://extension.psu.edu/glyphosate-roundup-understanding-risks-to-human-health
