- russdill 9y agoIs there a scientific consensus (or at least majority) as to the carcinogenic effect of the Roundup product?
- cholantesh 9y agoThere isn't. Glyphosate is well studied, and all evidence exonerate it. The constituent chemicals of Roundup may interact with each other to render the cocktail toxic. But that's not equivalent to carcinogenicity. And it's not well studied as yet.
- lumberjack 9y ago>Glyphosate is well studied, No. That is false. https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-016-0117-0 https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-... The studies on glyphosate are plenty, but most are inadequate.
- russdill 9y agoThis led me to a WHO FAQ, which I was hoping would answer all my questions. http://www.who.int/foodsafety/faq/en/ http://www.who.int/foodsafety/faq/en/ The only answer I have so far is that we need to fund our research institutes better to get more studies faster. I do appreciate though that glyphosate has replaced many less safe herbicides. I think even going off of the WHO FAQ, the comparison of the situation to one the tobacco industry faced is not the correct one.
