Consider the source.

Makes a person wonder why so many folks live longer than they did 100 years ago...
It’s the new math.
But genetically modified foods are ok.
It is not Bushes fault it is Monsanto fault..
They stopped using Roundup in Berkely and Oakland years ago it also contributed to the fires which burned down the Oakland hills about 20 yrs ago ....
I’m not sure that I trust our corrupt, bankrupt government to insure our health, or did you support ObamaCare?
Roundup isn’t a pesticide.
In other words, give us more grant money ... we need to do more research!!!
"Most of the food we eat that contains corn or soy was sprayed with glyphosate herbicide, and we’re being exposed to higher and higher levels of residue."
When Round-Up Ready crops are sprayed with glyphosates, it is done in the first couple of weeks in the plant's life -- weeds are not a problem as soon as the plant attains enough size to shade the ground. The plants are literally a few inches tall, at most. By the time a plant produces a cob of corn or a bean, a couple of months has passed. I'm seriously doubting how much "residue" is actually "in" the foods that result from the corn and beans.
darn,,,we’re all gonna die /s
It kills the weeds so I don’t have to pull them.
People live longer, but get sicker when older. Socities exposed to less chemicals live longer and healthier. Chemicals work over time, if exposed to in small quantities. Really think the corporate-funded stooges in the EPA care about you 50 years from now?
Keep a bottle in the kitchen then.
Did you test it? Or are you guessing?
No.
But daily we are bombarded with “studies” that contradict each other. The only conclusion is that more “studies” ($$$$) are needed. Science has become a tool of all sides for profit (boy, I'm starting to sound like a socialist!!)
So maybe instead of taking an extreme view of “no chemicals” or the other extreme “they’re all good for us” perhaps we should all be a little more reasonable.
You're less likely to get sicker during your old age if you don't have an old age...
No hiho, the scientists who are after our tax dollars, and the government that gives our tax dollars to them, are the socialists.
As a capitalist, I say that the private "for profit" sector should fund relevant research in a competitive environment. Uncle Sugar's teat needs to run dry.
Roundup is just salt.
Harmless.
