I've been researching this.
1. Glyphosate (roundup) use is two orders of magnitude higher than originally approved.
2. Due to the emergence of glyphosate-resistant weeds, the dosage has been increased substantially.
3. It is now also usually combined with other compounds to increase effectiveness, which affects how it breaks down and affects both the food and environment.
4. It is now also used for 'green burndown'. To help dessicate the crop. AKA they use it to kills crops to speed harvest, resulting in significantly elevated levels in your food.
Start with the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyphosate
Go on to a letter of concern published in the journal of Environmental Health signed by 14 experts in the field. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26883814
Realize that little to gain from raising these concerns, while there are many wealthy parties with vested interests in not finding these results. There's little funding behind this. Governing bodies (e.g. in Germany) are still relying on findings from labs with clear conflicts of interest.
