How about Julie Marc et al in Chemical Res. Toxicol., March 2003, looking
for further evidence that glyphosate causes cancer, & causes reproductive
disorders. Although the data (as most honest data) is inconclusive...


You mean Marc et al. Chem Res Toxicol, March 2002. OK, let's
take a look at that. As you state, your "proof" that
RoundUp is harmful is at best "inconclusive." In fact,
it's less that that -- it's the same pattern all over
again.

Let's actually *look* at your "proof."

As the authors note, "In normal usage and chronic exposure [in
contrast to your claims, paghat], several regulatory agencies
and scientific institutions worldwide have concluded that
there is no indication of any human health concern with
glyphosate and Roundup."

Quite an indictment from the scientific community, that.

But hope springs eternal in the ecofundamentalist breast.
In this article the authors decide to poison sea urchins.


WHAAT??
Those Bastar**!~
What did the sea urchins ever do to them, I ask you?
And just *where* were the "Save the Sea Urchins!" people while all this was
going on? Huh? Probably out eating Sushi...You can't get good protestors these
days.
