  You're right. I should have clarified I'm most concerned about roundup.

    It might be worth testing what makes one feel better. But you should do it with a blind study, to avoid bias and placebo effect. It could indeed be that Roundup causes prolbems , although rationally thinking, the pesticides used in organic farming could be a more likely reason - e.g. copper is far more toxic to mammals (LD50 30 mg/kg) than Roundup (5600 mg/kg, safer by a factor of 100), and the amounts used in organic farming can be higher then those used with Roundup in conventional farming.
