Roundup Unready
So if the government says its OK, we can dump thousands of tons of it onto our
crops? They also said that DDT was completely safe. Just because it doesn't cause cancer doesn't mean that it is safe. You don't mention the possibility of endocrine disruption.

It is both a carcinogen (non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) and an endocrine disruptor (inhibits steroidogenesis). The testing that revealed those two points looked at glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup, by itself. The complete formulation is even more toxic. In fact, this is a lie. The study that is pushed by the ecofundamentalist hysterics actually notes that Roundup does *not* cause non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. For some reason the hysterics repeat the findings from an early, incomplete preliminary study, but somehow magically forget to note the follow-up study by the *same* authors that concludes that the association falls out in multivariate analysis. In other words the authors of the article quoted here come to the opposite conclusion than that claimed here. billo |
