Glyphosate Pesticide Safety

too bad glyphosate isn't one of the chemicals listed in the article.

I don’t have a fear of chemicals. Everything is a chemical, but I’ve met the people you are describing, I promise to never use the work again.Keep in mind these studies are from 1997, the world wasn’t even ruined by the Internet at that point. The studies about humans described in your link are: some idiot drank half a cup of it, and he didn’t die, and the rabbits and mice seem ok. It’s safe! I just struggle, because even at that time these types of anecdotal statements were so dubious.

I just read this article recently that said something similar with asbestos:https://www.propublica.org/article/asbestos-poisoning-chemic...Its 2022. If you have inert ingredients and unpronounceable ingredients in your diet (untested junk science), known harmful chems external from that are just par for the course.Dead soil from herbicid

- Q: "I don't understand what this article is trying to convey."- A: Getting as much hits as possible so they have more income from ads.Also: "Cancer-linked herbicide, sold as Roundup by Monsanto, present in 45 products including granola, snack bars and Cheerios" is very sensational because there are a lot of types of herbicides.Glyphosate is possible connected to cancer but there is not much proof for it.Edit: (disclaimer) I think it's sti

Glyphosate isn't mentioned in TFA. Thoughts on paraquat?

Is the hazardous nature of glyphosate really a fringe theory?

That's usually my go-to when discussing supposedly dangerous chemicals.There are some controversies regarding, for example: glyphosate, aspartame, food preservatives, microplastics, etc... For all of them you are going to find studies showing some toxicity, usually at doses much higher than what we consume, and people get up in arms about them. But then, look at alcohol, where toxicity is proven without a doubt, it is also a group 1 carcinogen, the highest rating, and we drink it as if i

I'm sure there are current things that are like this.The first that comes to mind is atrazine. Its use is banned in the EU.Yes, this chemical is the cause of Alex Jones' concerns about amphibians. But if both the EU and Alex Jones can agree on something, maybe it's worth paying attention.Or Teflon pans? The things that kill literal canaries -- not in the coal mine, but in your kitchen?Given what we've just read here on HN about US use of Agent Blue (arsenic! An el

You do realize vinegar is a plant killer right? Too much water is a plant killer, too much sun is a plant killer. There are insecticides that kill bugs that don't have an impact on humans. Starvation probably kills far more people than Roundup. I mean I hate Monsanto as a company too but literally you could die drinking too much water. If you cannot even define how something would impact humans wouldn't the appropriate way to determine that be to perform science? Just saying we don
