Glyphosate application and phyto-oestrogens in legumes



Dear friends,

According to Third World Network Features 1588/97, "the application of glyphosate causes the production of phyto-oestrogens in legumes" which may cause reproductive system disruptions so as certain chemicals.

Does anyone have more information  on this issue?  May Roundup Ready Soybeans and the associated herbicide increase the risk of oestrogens in soybeans?
