(36,843 posts)Sounds like about as great of an accomplishment as being voted smartest person in the room at the GOP convention.
Most of the WHO is on record as saying glyphosate isn't a human cancer risk, but you already knew that. The IARC's minority opinion, even within the WHO, has been rejected by a very wide consensus of the scientific community, but you already knew that. Even if someone, you know like a tort lawyer whose makes his money suing people with money, were to actually put any stock in an opinion that nobody else authoritative this side of Bizzaro World does, the claim that "probable" somehow magically turns into "definite" is worth about as much as a bucket of warm spit in a court of law, but he already knows that.
I'm sure these "new studies" will be quite enlightening seeing as how there's only more than 40 years and hundreds of them already, none of which that are remotely credible suggest anything in the same ballpark as what the IARC is suggesting. One of the studies the IARC referenced as evidence even showed a negative risk, which means glyphosate exposure may actually keep you from getting cancer.
The EPA will soon be coming out with their final determination on the subject which will undoubtedly be the same as the EFSA and the rest of the WHO, which is to say the IARC is quite full of shit. But I'm sure you'll just ignore that one as well just like you ignore every other piece of relevant information that doesn't support the beloved cause of chemophobia.
