re: EPA- today Glyphosate (Roundup), Reaffirms No Risk to Public Health

I don't have proof, but it's certainly a coincidence that a chemical that SOME feel it causes cancer and I know someone first hand who handled excessive amounts of it also died of cancer, I feel OK in saying that the RoundUp just might be the case. He didn't drink or smoke, so you can rule that out.
I think I have a stronger case of that it could have been due to Roundup, citing examples used in the class action suit against Monsanto, than you can tell me his cancer was NOT a cause of it.
Look, I'm not one to always say that a certain chemical will always cause something or other, I'm really just saying that I wouldn't just feel honky dory about something, just because the EPA says it is no risk. I'm sorry, but there is just too much money to be thrown around by these chemical companies and they don't want their prized product to be labeled a carcinogen.

I'm not saying it is or it isn't a carcinogen. I do believe in the "I always see yellow cars" effect. It means that it doesn't mean there is any irregularity to the occurrence but because it's in your head you notice it more often.

I believe because he passed much sooner than anyone should from a disease that doesn't normally effect someone so young. Couple that with the fact there are several lawsuits against Bayer (formerly Monsanto) related to cancer caused by their product and your friend happened to use the product could mean you are short sighted.

My entire mom's side of the family used roundup as part of being farmer's in Louisiana. My grandfather passed at 92 but not due to cancer. The only one that has died of cancer was my aunt who worked at Dow for 30 years.

If Roundup is a carcinogen, well I'm glad I will be off this job site before the new equipment turns on and starts producing more.

Gasoline and wine contain carcinogens.
