Part time PhD is interesting but probably very challenging. He seems to have completed it in 5-6 years, which is average for full-time PhD students, so my question is what got left out? His google scholar lists a conference abstract, and hi

Classics. I think I have a subtle preference for Alberts, rather than Lodish in terms of text, but I think the Lodish illustrations are better. At this point I think I have three copies of Alberts stashed in various closets and trunks.

Relative. People are eating kilograms of meat a week, and colon cancer is far from the leading cause of death. Remember dosage is important!

This is an excellent point. So many people forget about the human costs of agriculture.

They don't have evidence that glyphosate is a carcinogen. They are using general classifications to infer potential harm. Glyphosate is in the same class as cooked meat. This is also likely political posturing to appease anti-gmo senti

I agree. The primary component of that "Other Chemicals" are surfactants. Surfactants, such as (POEA used in roundup) are known skin irritants. They are used to help absorption of glyphosate in plants. Skin irritation is a very we

I agree, so why be concerned with ppb of rigorously studied chemicals shown time and again to be safe (quack-science excluded)? Your daily coffee is probably an order of magnitude more carcinogenic than any glyphosate/roundup exposure.
