How then did they conclude that it's "probably carcinogenic"?
Based on what we know about these things, I actually believe that it is, but lets see how they reached that conclusion. Show us the data.
- tptacek 10y agoYou believe glyphosate is probably carcinogenic? Why?
- jack9 10y agoBecause every study I've seen uses and SOLELY RELIES on Monsanto supplied data and is usually run by a Monsanto agent (current employ, previous employ, or political friend of Monsanto), although there was one study from Germany that did not have a Monsanto agent and came up with "probably not carcinogenic". You do not get data on how Roundup affects a population, excepting through Monsanto's blessing.
- Andys 10y agoThere is also the question of whether they're talking about a direct carcinogenic effect on the personnel applying the Round Up product, versus antibiotic effect on consumers of food containing Round Up residue.
- Retric 10y agoThey published the studies they looked at: http://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Monographs/vol112/mono112-09.pdf http://monographs.iarc.fr/ENG/Monographs/vol112/mono112-09.p... I would not say it's a clear yes, but there is some evidence for a cancer link across a range of studies.
