re: Roundup weed killer linked to cancer

Funny timing. Yesterday I was listening to the Best of 2018 podcast from Rich Roll and one of the segments was a dude talking about Round Up.
It is basically in everything we eat, drink, and breath.
I didn't catch the dude's name but it was pretty informative.

I attended a lecture a couple of years ago by a glyphosate researcher named Bush. He hypothesized that Louisiana’s “cancer alley” had a lot less to do with the state’s many petrochemical plants than is generally accepted. He says the abundance of cancer in south Louisiana is because of all the glyphosates sprayed literally all over the country make their way down through the river system to the Mississippi, getting more and more concentrated as they get down towards BR, and the people in the Mississippi delta are drinking that water contaminated with glyphosate.

Your skepticism is noted.
Defending pesticides that are known to cause cancer is a strange flex.

But he's not defending a pesticide known to cause cancer.

Round up isn't known to cause cancer.
ACSH On Roundup Not Causing Cancer
Canadian regulatiors also think Roundup unlikely to cause cancer
Find evidence of glyphosate actually causing cancer, we can start banning it. It's just not there based on the research to this point in time.

It is not found in virtually everything we consume. That is pure fallacy.
There are not many crops that it can be sprayed on that it will not kill. GMO soybeans are one of those crops. Until the roundup resistant gene came into being Roundup was not widely used on crops.
I promise you this—we should all be glad that roundup is used on the millions of acres of soybeans in the USA instead of the chemicals we used to control the weeds in soybeans before roundup resistant beans came along!!
I agree with the other poster about trying to blame roundup for cancer in licensed pesticide applicators instead of any of the scores of other compounds those people come into contact with.
It is more than coincidence that this review—not a study—was released as the federal lawsuits are going to trial.

One fact that is very important that this researcher should address.
A population of licensed pest control operators is probably the worst population to use to make such a proclamation about Roundup.
Glyphosate, Roundup, is not a "restricted use pesticide" in any state. No state requires a license to apply Roundup. NONE.
Licensed pest control operators are licensed because they apply restricted use pesticides.
Pesticides are restricted use for a number of reasons including their dangers to the health of the applicator and their dangers to the environment.

Yeah I’ve seen the commercials.

I’m more afraid of soda than roundup.
