No it isn't. It does not have any long term exposure effects due to ingestion of residue on produce.

- jcranmer 7y agoNor does glyphosate. No one has been able to demonstrate health effects due to pesticide residue. Even studies purporting to show health effects for glyphosate do so at concentrations associated with handling the chemical in bulk, not at concentrations associated with consumption of residue.
- mehrdadn 7y ago> Even studies purporting to show health effects for glyphosate do so at concentrations associated with handling the chemical in bulk Do more well-accepted organic pesticides have these kinds of problems with bulk handling? Because otherwise I feel like this should be reason enough to avoid it.
- JamesBarney 7y agoYes see the toxicology section. It's way worse than glyphosate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(II)_sulfate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(II)_sulfate
- mehrdadn 7y agoThis isn't really what I was going for with "well-accepted" but I guess it's better than nothing, thanks. Copper sulfate's presence on that list is just about as questionable as glyphosate so I was hoping for something that people would actually think of as an organic pesticide (natural, etc. like already discussed earlier) not something that merely meets the federal requirements to be called 'organic'.
