Roundup Unready
Frank Logullo wrote: "Bill Oliver" wrote in message ... 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. Sounds like this guy is a wacko eco nut or was riffed by Monsanto. I'm not a fan of big government but this stuff had to be cleared under FIFRA by the EPA. Frank Initially, so did a lot of other, nasty stuff that has since been removed from sale to the public. FIFRA and the EPA are not panacaeas for the proliferation of pesticides - only our best attempt to try to regulate and monitor the spread and effect of potentially toxic chemicals. Not that I am a huge fan of chemical pesticides (as most regulars here know) but this "report" is defnitely not an accurate assessment of the effects of glyphosate. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma has been linked (tentatively) only to organphosphates, of which substances glyphosate/RoundUp is not a member. pam - gardengal |
