Story at-a-glance

   - Between 1974 — the year glyphosate entered the U.S. market — and 2014,
   glyphosate use in the U.S. increased more than 250fold
   - Few people had detectable levels of glyphosate in their urine in 1993,
   but by 2016, 70 percent had detectable levels. Between 1993 and 2016, the
   glyphosate levels in people’s bodies increased by 1,208 percent
   - While both the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Pesticide Data Program
   and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) measure pesticide residues
   in foods, neither include glyphosate in their official testing
   - Internal FDA emails reveal Roundup has been found in virtually all
   foods tested, including granola, oatmeal products, crackers and honey
   - Independent testing has found significant amounts of glyphosate in a
   wide range of foods as well, including grains (especially oats), legumes,
   beans, orange juice, wine and ice cream
