Glyphosate Studies Revealed by EPA Show Toxicity

I received 9 files, ranging from 67-293 pages. Most were the actual studies, two were assesments of other studies. I do not believe I received all of the studies submitted to the EPA, and will be asking for the full set of documents. What I did receive however, in my opinion, is reason enough not to re register glyphosate.
The first study I open, is a 96 hour study on oysters..and it concludes that although in 4 days there were no oyster deaths, the majority of the oysters were ‘closed and not feeding’. That is equivalent to a human in a coma! Are you kidding me? This is supposed to prove glyphosate is safe for sea life?
These studies, even in their small scope and short duration show that glyphosate should not be re registered. It’s not sound science to see these as showing safety by any scope of the imagination and in addition this mother, for one, would prefer to be better safe than sorry than to feed my kid a chemical that has most oysters ‘closed and not feeding’ after 4 days. It’s hard enough to feed my kids, Thank you very much. I chose organic.
