"Overall, our review did not find support in the epidemiologic literature for a causal association between glyphosate and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or multiple myeloma." I'm a natural products scientist and I have looked as closely as I can and I really don't find much reliable data supporting the assertion that glyphosate causes cancer. I avoided using it for quite some time, but I do use it now. I have to live by logic and not hysteria. Many pesticides are bad and dangerous, but glyphosate is as close to a magic bullet that only kills plants that I can find.

>really don't find much data supporting the assertion that glyphosate causes cancer. I'm far from an expert, but this being in the news has piqued my interest as well, and I haven't seen much that confirms it either: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5705608/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5705608/ People hate Monsanto, and populism is rife, so the decision wasn't shocking. Amazing that Monsanto managed to sell to Bayer with these lawsuits on the horizon.

  Thanks for sharing that article, I hadn't seen it. There are plenty of reasons to support hating Monsanto. I do as well. Generic versions of Roundup are available from generic type suppliers now and that is where I buy mine.

Agree 100%. I have a PhD in Biophysics, can evaluate the literate, and the amount of animus targeted towards Monsanto on this is unreasonable. Of course, trials like this aren't about proving the substance causes harm in a scientific way.
