The abstract does not claim that Roundup is dangerous to humans
when used as directed. Your implication, by including it is
that it does.

There he goes again, Henry, the Bleeting Billo Shillo! He well knows THERE
IS NO SAFE WAY TO USE ROUNDUP. He has yet again given as truth his own
redundancies (his mere bleeting "when used as directed, bleet bleet").
Using deadly toxins "as directed" is a labeling procedure that achieves a
minimal level of legality only. As it turns out, it is even based on
falsified data. It is also based on some bits of real data derived from
decay periods that occur ONLY in controlled laboratory conditions & do not
apply to gardens or crops. These "directions" overlook temperature
variance, overlook bonding with other chemicals in the environment,
overlook actual soil conditions that can in many instances permit
glyphosate to remain active for months to over a year depending on
percentage of organic content & numbers of microorganisms, overlooks even
the fact that it is a MIX of chemicals squirted all over the place & not
the individidual chemicals given limited testing in laboratory conditions,
overlooks the chemicals which this mix of toxins breaks down into some of
which are known to be increasingly toxic & carcinogenic, overlooks the
untested chemicals & chemical combinations since there's a lot more in a
jug of RoundUp than is on the label, overlooks the dioxane & other
contaminants inevitably in RoundUp, even overlooks the fact that the
surficant alone increases the toxicity of glyphosate & its ability to
enter cells -- all that before evne getting to the sad fact that tons of
it are NOT used as directed, though Monsanto sells it for off-label uses
all the time, even for use directly in watersheds, & applied directly on
RoundUp Ready crops so as to toxify basic food products. The "as directed"
instructions are fraudulant to begin with, these instructions are based on
phantasmagoric invention, then it is sold for off-label use anyway.

Which is why independent non-Monsanto studies have found RoundUp to be
risky for people even with minute exposures, & most assuredly harmful to
the environment in HUGE ways, even when used "as directed" since there
really is no way to use it safely.

I know Billo Shillo will retell the same old couple of lies again & again,
though, cuz that's all he's got left.
