actually the link between roundup and cancer was determined by civil trial, using a jury that had minimal chemical awareness or oncology knowledge. an outstanding case of correlation interpreted as causation. Setting health limits by civil litigation is wrong. At all levels. Setting limits at detection levels is stupid also

Glyphosate has been proven to have negative effects on cell mitochondria which opens up all kinds of metabolic disease. Couple that with various amounts being found in many processed foods that is not a good thing. When it is in so many different sources it is hard to determine an individual's exposure, especially for children.

Any "cide" in our food supply needs to be thoroughly tested and kept to a minimum. Yields are important for an abundant food supply but not at the expense of the nation's health.

you really need to read the a/I,grox,chatgpt information and throw out all of the articles that use the term "may contribute to". Definitive causation work is non existent .

I have read plenty on the subject, I don't need to use Ai. There is definitly muddy water out there with Monsanto having thrown $$$ out there for just that purpose.

I have no desire to debate this, anyone with half a brain understands the human body is a biochemical machine and the less "cides" or other harmful or potentially harmful chemicals you ingest the better. The US is finally waking up with MAHA and it is definitely a good thing.

It's your body and life, drink it with a straw if you want. I'll avoid it and others as much as possible.

It's so safe the people in the OP pic are decked out in Hazmat suits during application.

No need to worry about such things, we have a long time chemical company/pesticide lobbyist in the EPA now who will straighten this shite out......just as soon as she gets IRIS disbanded first.

Then go back to glyphosate so it can kill weeds again.

Without current yields American farmers go out of business and you’ll be staring at a famine. Feed will skyrocket and put cattle, poultry, aquaculture out of business or make meat prices soar.

You want extremely high inflation and food shortages then get rid of these pesticides and herbicides. Are they probably bad for us? Sure, but it’s not like life expectancy in the U.S. is low. It’s a trade off for food security and affordable groceries
