>roundup is synonymous with glyphosate For all intents and purposes, it is. > yet through further reading I discovered that approximately half of it is glyphosate, and the rest is a combination of surfactants and whatever else. This is a recent development in the literature. The case for glyphosate being carcinogenic has been so widely tested and proven false that Seralini's group has had to shift focus to save face. They then turned to POEA as a potential carcinogen, a widely used chemical present in commercial roundup (and many many other products). They did this because surfactants are irritants, so their physiological effect can easily confound sloppy studies. The result is a protracted grasping at straws so Seralini can prove his predefined conclusion that "roundup causes cancer". Bad papers published in crap journals to get media attention so Seralini can sell his book.
