Roundup Unready

Since I know you will not actually bother to read the articles you pretend to know about, lets see what the authors say about the human interpretation of the data: "Despite the fact that the doses used in this study would never expected to correspond to human exposure levels under normal circumstances, as reported by Williams et al. (2000) for glyphosate and polyoxyethyleneamine in adults or children (margins of EXPOSURE=5420, 3370 and 461577, respectively), this results shows that the commercial formulation poses an increased potential risk for the rat skeletal system." In other words, the dosage required for this does *not* translate into danger to humans. Of course, I am sure that you know *much* better than those silly scientists know. billo |
