Glyphosate
Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide used in agriculture for the control of weeds, shrubs, and grasses. One brand name it is sold as is Monsanto's Roundup.[1] It is also used in genetically modified crops.[2][3]
There are many studies indicating glyphosate is dangerous for animals, including humans.[4][5]
