      "#Glyphosate Isn’t Giving You Cancer - Why #RoundUp is probably fine for your health" Below the slightly misleading title hides a quite good and balanced article by @GidMKhttp://bit.ly/2Xd6gHB

      "probably" the equalizer for the #ProGMO people?

      As I said: I also find the title misleading. And the question of glyphosat's carcinogenicity (or lack thereof) is independent on one's attitude pro/contra GMO's.

      Oh, you mean like it poisoning water and particle contamination from spray drift, along with killing insects and wild plants and flowers and biodiversity in general. Everything bad including Cancers. #Glyphosate

      That's exactly (!) what I am saying over, and over, and over again: the environmental consequences of our excessive pesticide use (be it #glyphosate, #neonics or others) is the far bigger problem. At least in industrialised nations with a semi-developed regulatory system.

      Not something I'm qualified to comment on, tbh. I'm mostly concerned over people making alarmist arguments that contradict the established evidence-base around human health

          Here's an interesting read: the EU's scientific advisors' review on pesticide authorization. I certainly like it (most of it at least). But I've been involved in the process, so I might be biased... https://ec.europa.eu/research/sam/pdf/sam_ppp_report.pdf …

          Sorry, I can't read every person's link to 75 pages! Can't you send me some bottom lines. I did look at the article but there's a lot of statements that are self evident, and frankly a little boring. LOL!

          How can you possibly justify shutting people up because they challenge the "established evidence-base". Science would still be stuck in the dark ages. There is NO scientific consensus on GMOs for one thing. For another, people don't want GMOs on their plate. That's a fact!

          Here's a new report from the @FAO that supports my concerns. More drastically than I'd have wished for. http://bit.ly/2SUUVgS

          why do we always wait for deterioration before we are proactive! It's frustrating and stupid.
