Killing Evil Weeds

not sure Bayer would have set aside over $ 10 billion to cover it all, maybe they should have come to CCMB and saved all that money

Over a dozen international and national health agencies have reviewed the safety of glyphosate, some repeatedly, and have found it unlikely to cause cancer and safe when used according to its label.

Juries deciding against Monsanto/Bayer doesn't alter that fact.

The European Food Safety Authority looked at 21 human studies and found no evidence for an association between cancer and glyphosate use. The IARC looked at 19 human trials and found no statistically significant evidence for an association with cancer. It did find three small studies that suggested an association with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (not statistically significant).



How many of these studies have you read Matt, and which one should I look at to become better informed?

so that confirms it then, Bayer should have joined CCMB and saved themselves over $10 Billion

Not sure of the point you are making, but I am assuming you are making one.

Inform me.

presumably the point is if it is a clear cut as you are saying it is then why have Bayer set aside so much money?

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.

Unless of course Bayer weed killer is secretly made of white vinegar, washing-up liquid and salt!!

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