Monsanto will love this:glyphosate labeled probable cancer causing

International Agency for Research on Cancer, a division of WHO.

Experts said there was "limited evidence" in humans that the herbicide can cause non-Hodgkins lymphoma and there is convincing evidence that glyphosate can also cause other forms of cancer in rats and mice.

IARC's panel said glyphosate has been found in the blood and urine of agricultural workers, showing the chemical has been absorbed by the body.

So, shouldn't we be taking the precautionary principle to heart in industrial use of the chemical?

What a great day to rejoice AVB3

I agree whole heartily with you.

"So, shouldn't we be taking the precautionary principle to heart in industrial use of the chemical?"

And I would even go further. and extend that advice to residential and commercial uses as well.

Something to think about....

Lots of our ungulates browse on young deciduous trees and grasses.

Every year, 100,000's of litres of herbicide (vision max) is dumped onto young cutblocks to limit competition for conifers.

The moose, deer and elk have been eating in these cutblocks for years.

No need to go that far. Tons of pesticides applied to agricultural ground. Probably more game shot there than in the piney woods.

Yes, some of my favorite cutblocks have been ruined by that exact practice.

Monsatan knew this from the get-go!
They are evil and have been poisoning their fellow man for years with all of their chemicals!
Do you know that the only food served at the Monsatan cafeteria is all organic?
Heaven forbid they should eat their own offerings!

Monsanto says they don't focus on organic foods in their cafeteria:

I don't eat the beef that I raise. Does that mean it causes cancer?
