In reply to the discussion: Monsanto's Roundup Linked to Cancer - Again [View all]tell the climate change deniers that it is proven by the majority of scientists yet when the majority of scientists say the responsible use of GMO's and pesticides are safe and progressives cry wolf expect to be taken seriously? I followed the links, the first link said this "Unfortunately, Roundup has now been shown to affect much more than the EPSP synthase enzyme. The herbicide has been proven to cause birth defects in vertebrates, including in humans, and it may also be the cause of a fatal kidney disease epidemic." with a link on the birth defects part. I then followed that link and found this "The maximum residue limit (MRL) allowed glyphosate in food and feed products in theEU is 20 mg/kg. Soybeans have been found to contain glyphosate residues at levels up to17mg/kg. Carrasco found malformations in frog and chicken embryos injected with 2.03mg/kg glyphosate ten times lower than theMRL. While an injected dose is not the same as eating food containing glyphosate residues, no attempt has been made to properly investigate how much glyphosate people and animals are ingesting." Seriously!!!!??? put 2.03mg/kg of caffeine in a chicken embryo do ya think there will be birth defects such as here http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22449533 ? Are you going to ban caffeine now? The second link which was on "may also be the cause of a fatal kidney disease epidemic." led straight to "http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25122-exposing-monsanto-herbicide-linked-to-birth-defects-the-vitamin-a-connection" , notice anything there???? Let me give you a hint, "www.truth-out.org/opinion",, opinion,,,,,,,. You either go by science or you don't, and when you say the science is in on climate change and then do an about face on science when it comes to GMO's and roundup, well, that makes you a special kind of person.
