In a previous thread (Docks around and young apple tree) it was stated
that
Roundup was safe to use for a number of reasons. But basically the
feeling
was "its been around for a long time and nothing has been proven yet".

Well here is a recent report showing that Roundup cannot be considered
totally safe.

If that is the totality of the negative results which have been published in
the couple of decades of intensive anti-glyphosate research, then my belief
in the efficacy and safety of glyphosate has now been strengthened
immeasurably.
