Michael Woodhead added,
I wouldn't say that, exactly. The woman featured in the article clearly believes glyphosate was the cause of the cancers. But it's troublesome that there are no oncologists or environmental health experts quoted, especially considering the evidence
I’m currently at the biggest oncology meeting in the world and not one of the 33,000 oncologists here is talking about glyphosate. It’s just not on their radar as a significant risk factor for cancer. The disconnect between public fears/media messages and science is huge
TBH I'm not surprised. Even if the absolute worst case scenario was true for glyphosate increasing NHL risk, it would still only cause a fraction of the cancers that more common risk factors definitely cause
Good representation of cancer causes here - Maccas rather than Monsanto is the villain?pic.twitter.com/4cwTnSPWCh
Pretty much. Even in terms of environmental exposures glyphosate wouldn't be nearly as much of an issue as asbestos or some of the more common air pollutants
