I'm not sure that was the point being made.

Bayer have set aside so much money because a jury (not scientists) decided that there was a link between glysophate and cancer. That doesn't mean there is a scientific link.

Bayer, however, continue to sell Roundup, and they haven't amended the labelling. Shops continue to stock Roundup. And scientific studies continue to fail to conclude that glysophate is carcinogenic.

Of course, the jury service is a completely infallible system, and no jury ever has wrongfully convicted anyone.

You say recently, but the article has it's 2nd birthday tomorrow.

This link isn't as old, and shows Roundup is still stocked at Homebase

Ingredients still include 170g/l of glysophate.

In an alternate universe, people are discussing putting glysophate on their chips :thumbup:
