[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3236317, member: 7157"] Roundup and glyphosate, despite having the same active ingredient, are [I]not[/I] necessarily the same. Roundup has an additional chemical, an amine-based surfactant, that usually is the source of toxicity in fish. Also, in a 2012 study published in [I]Environmental Monitoring And Assessments[/I], fish exposed to Roundup at a concentration of 6.6 parts per billion (with a B) which corresponds to 3.2 ppb of glyphosate exhibited DNA damage in blood and hepatic cells. That’s a very low concentration, and other ingredients in Roundup and other glyphosate pesticides - which are not required by law to be listed - could have deleterious effects. We just don’t know for sure. Monsanto and other pesticide makers would rather not discuss them, naturally. [/QUOTE]
