Not saying glyphosate isn't the problem, but 15,000 times the lowest detectable amount doesn't really say how high it is.
Maybe the test is really sensitive?
Maybe farmers in non-cluster areas also have similar levels?
What about the average? The highest was 15k times the minimum detectable, were the rest 5 on a scale of 100k? Were the rest higher than random people from elsewhere in the world?
Seems to be reporter bias in that bit of the article.
- Terr_ 2y agoThe reverse problem exists too: Something could have insanely high levels of X, but for engineering reasons our tests for X aren't very good, then it gets falsely downplayed as "It's just 5 times higher than the minimum detectable level."
