I didn't follow the whole glyphosate-debate for a while. When I did, some years ago, it seemed as if there were mostly studies linking it to cancer etc in vitro or in rodents etc, not so much or even none in humans. Then last year when a judge in the US ruled against Monsanto some people were like 'hey here's your evidence that glyphosate causes cancer' which is obviously wrong, hnce the many replies saying there were no conclusive studies in humans linking it to cancer. So, did this change now?
