Roundup Unready
Lar wrote: In article , grdngal48 @comcast.net says... Non-Hodgkins lymphoma has been linked (tentatively) only to organphosphates, of which substances glyphosate/RoundUp is not a member. Glyphosate is considered an organophosphate..that is where they make the stretch. I guess I should have made myself a bit clearer :-)) While it may well be a derivative of phosphoric acid and therefore technically considered an organophosphate, it does not display any anticholinesterase activity which removes it from discussions regarding the potential neurotoxic effects of true organophosphates like malathion and chlorpyrifos. Even the EPA and EXTOXNET do not list it within the chemical class of organophosphates.The OP's statement was a little like saying that since bicycle riding without a helmet can lead to brain injuries, ANY bicycle riding without a helmet WILL lead to brain injuries - it simply isn't that direct a corollary. pam - gardengal |
