Glyphosate, the active chemical in the weed killer RoundUp, is the world's most used herbicide. First discovered in 1950, glyphosate's herbicidal properties were not identified until 1970. It was quickly patented by agrochemical and biotech company Monsanto.

Glyphosate is linked to a host of health maladies including Liver Disease, Kidney Disease, Antibiotic Resistance, Endocrine/Hormonal Disruption, Cancer, Mitochondrial Disease, etc
