I listened to entire hearing and was overall impressed by the thoroughness of each testimonies. I learned quite a bit about risk vrs. hazard assements and that EPA is focused on risk while the IRAC focus' on hazard. My understanding of Glyphosate is that it breaks down quite readily when in contact with anything other than pure water. Dr. Sass' claim that it is found in human urine and breast milk leaves me some concern. I gather that whatever level is found in human fluids is not considered risky by EPA. While it looked like there was considerable polarization on part of congressmen and women, I think that the almost complete focus by the democratic representatives on Monsanto's previous misdeeds was inappropriate for this kind of hearing.

After doing some research I found the below reference by Washington State, WSU, breast milk researcher that previous claim to find Glyphosate in breast milk (that was never subjected to peer review) by Mom's Across America was not accurate.
