Anybody see……….

The recently(within the past couple days) published report linking glyphosate usage to several cancers?
From my understanding, the study was years long, and involved several countries and research facilities working in conjunction with each other. Unfortunately, I don’t have a link it, as of yet. The jist of the study basically concludes, that is the common belief of what the manufacturer and governments approved as ‘safe levels’ and practices of application, is way off.

I hear ya, Steve. From the long list of agencies, and groups conducting the study there were quite a few universities, and the they have been in bed with government and big business for a long, long time.

We used to be assured that glyphosate was not much more harmful than dish detergent. I worked at a farm for a while where I did a lot of spraying of field edges, roadways, etc. I would get a condition called geographic tongue that seemed to be caused by glyphosate, I went to the doctor for it once and was told it was nothing to worry about.
I remember a few years back there was a big lawsuit, and one of the researchers from Washington State University stated that his research revealed no link to cancer at all, but did show genetic mutation in the second generation from exposure (grandchildren). He offered his study to Monsanto but they weren't interested. If I remember correctly this was just after they had been bought by Bayer. I'm not sure who I would trust anymore.

How chemicals were handled and concentration levels are huge factors. I remember back 50+ years ago, when we mixed powdered Lorox in a 300 gallon sprayer, pour a little in, stick your arm in up to the shoulder, mix until dissolved and repeat until all was in.
