Glyphosate is a systemic chelator patented as a biocide, kills anything and worse, Roundup has additives to penetrate cell walls better. The main issue with it is that it kills gut bacteria at any trophic level, any size organism as it's systemic and non-specific killing off many benign species. A common misperception by farmers promoted by biotech is that Roundup fades in 90-days or so and that's blatantly not true retention in soils is dependent upon clay percentage. It takes very little clay in soils to persist Roundup for years, thus farmers use WAY TOO MUCH of it for any reason thinking it's OK because that's the hype. A big soak-down is going on using Roundup as a "burn down" to get rid of leaves and make processing cheaper just before harvest any crop! This puts Roundup into the food parts at a high level, by 10-ppm in blood liver & kidney damage begin and 40-ppm is legal otherwise there wouldn't be much to sell, eh? So when this gets into groundwater, then waterways it alters populations of species more resistant to affects than others and no longer a part of the previous ecosystem. This usually ends up with negative results as here with a remnant survivor species being "bad" when it's likely prior population proportions wouldn't have allowed them to dominate. Roundup should be removed from the food-chain immediately, it's a global health hazard in the end, now in all the wines recently tested had it, consider that.
