You list in your alleged "conspiracy" FOR Monsanto some of the same
organizations you've previously deplored for releasing non-peer-reviewed
warnings against Monsanto products, but now suddenly you dream up new
positions for all of them! Although Monsanto still distributes a 1994
W.H.O. statement that glyphosate is not a proven carcinogenic, WHO has
published warnings against RoundUp for other reasons..


and they continue to claim that it is safe as used directly.


longer repeating that it is not a carcinogen, leaving that open due to the
most recent evidence.



Uh huh. Please provide the EPA document that states that Roundup
is not safe when used as directed. You cannot.

You (like Monsanto) may LOVE what WHO said ten years
ago, but have to overlook what they've said since.



OK. Provide the document where the EPA says that Roundup
is not safe when used as directed. You cannot.


skipped that chance to point the finger in the only direction feasible. It
remains, WHO is now spreading warnings against the use of chemicals
dispersed into the environment in the Monsanto product, & they are calling
it a dangerous neurotoxin.



They are not calling Roundup a dangerous neurotoxin. Provide
a WHO document that states that Roundup is not safe for humans
when used as directed. You cannot.



RoundUp additives as deadly neurotoxins in the foodchain pretty much
outweighs WHO's studies that showed nothing more than this: if people &
animals eat a lot of glyphosate-tolerant GM crops, they won't drop dead --
that's what Monsanto likes to hear, but it's not much of an endorsement.


Fine. Provide a WHO document that states that Roundup is
not safe for humans when used as directed. You cannot.



But oh yes, the National Cancer Institute -- I notice you don't say
National Cancer Society which is independent of Monsanto.


Ah, yes. The NCI -- another Monsanto shill as far as you're
concerned.



So keep on bleeting "Ecofundies!" and "Conspiracy theories!" -- that may
indeed, in the end, be your only possible tactic, having by now run your
favorite Ian Munro bullshit "science" further than it ever reached.



No science, once again. Just cult ranting. Provide a single
article in a peer-reviewed scientific journal that claims that
Roundup is not safe for humans when used as directed. One.
Just one.
