The dangers of weed killers - Glyphostae aka Roundup, the hidden killer.

Excess beta carotene does not cause liver damage or birth defects. So how many consumers are harmed by pesticides in the UK each year? It's bound to be a tiny fraction of the number that are harmed by their own stupidity. Heck even being uneducated kills more people (the average life expectancy for professionals is 7 years more than for manual workers). You're stressing (which really does kill) over something that doesn't. Though it's a common problem for those with certain political views - folks with right wing politics live longer too :-) I'd like to care, but unfortunately it's just not in my nature, though I think you really should try and lighten up - I'm sure you'll live a longer and happier life if you do. Add an education too and you might even live as long, happy and healthy a life as many others here. Michael Saunby |
