"I have used glyphosate longer than that and I don't have cancer so there you go....PROOF that glyphosate is harmless."
Well I am hoping you were more cautious than the plaintiff that said he got doused with it a couple times. That might make a difference.
"Easy to point fingers - but all too frequently the universe of exposures that we have all experienced makes it very hard to generate a convincing data set that shows that a particular chemical was responsible for whatever the illness de jour might be."
Yes very true geochem, we don't know what caused his cancer. However sometimes you start seeing a pattern of a specific type of illness such as non hodgkins lymphoma, or kidney disease, which are some of the illnesses commonly acquired by Roundup user/victims. When these people come down with such specific diseases and their common denominator is, exposure to Roundup, well then, I'm no scientist but I think this is significant.
I don't know if Roundup is carcinogenic but it is damn hard on the human body regardless, and the fact is we are being fed it everyday through a myriad of sources...
But to allow this, and to essentially create a complete farming industry on this type of technology, and introduce it into the environment and our bodies as intensely as we have without as much scrutiny as we do medicine is just crazy. We are ingesting both, why isn't the level of scrutiny before we are allowed to do so the same for each?
And those that say there's no proof blah blah blah.. well you know there are all sorts of modern diseases that we do not know why they have grown to be so prevalent. So unless you can say that Roundup doesn't cause any of them I think it is far from reasonable that we should be in essence forced to eat the stuff.
Amen on that Glinda, I cannot agree more! It is so refreshing to hear that point of view. I know people like you are out there, (smart and in-the-know about the dangers of Monsanto and Roundup) but I hadn't been seeing many like that here on PW.
