2-4-D worked much better and was tastier!

[Robert DeLong]

Nothing but lies. Been using it for decades with no negative results.

[centurion316]

The only evidence:

The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has called glyphosate a “probable human carcinogen,”

WHO is a totally political organization with no credibility for scientific research. However, a couple of lawyers and some juries have make major award, so the stampede has begun. The science is weak, but no matter.

[Jeff Gordon]

Science is now being decided by citizen juries, not scientists. Specifically in this case, two San Francisco juries.

Next they will be ruling on gravity.

[ConservativeMind]

It’s not a problem, just like DDT isn’t.

Both are safe.

“Clumps of dandelions have popped up in your yard, so you reach for a bottle of Roundup, the popular weed killer.”

these people are idiots and liars: glysophate is a non-selective pant killer, so not only will it kill your dandelions, but it will kill your lawn too ...

[hinckley buzzard]

Usual junk science. It pays no attention to the critical variable which is dosage. An axiom of toxicology is that dosage determines toxicity. Minute doses of Round Up such as would be encountered by the average user would be harmless.

Citing research showing it to be in 93% of subjects, without mentioning levels, Is worse than junk science. it is deliberate agenda-driven demogoguery.

Global warming level rubbish.

I’m in the process of trying to clear out 3 acres of that damnable bush honeysuckle. The only thing I’ve found that will kill it, after you’ve cut the stumps, is a 52% glyphosate solution.

[BipolarBob]

relax people. It only causes cancer in California. If you live somewhere else, it’s okay.

[Advil000]

Would they rather we all go back to OILING our gravel driveways and walkways? I think not.

[digger48]

California says my new fishing reel and depth finder can both cause cancer.

junk science abounds

[BobL]

Soon it will be time to STOCK UP on this stuff.

[robel]

Enviromentalists hate safe and effective weed killers.

[piasa]

Well, I just splashed bunch of it on myself when I mishandled a new sprayer under pressure the other day... so I guess I am doomed.

But happily the dadburned weeds are going to die first. I am fed up with the losing battle of trying to pull or weedwack invasive weeds in a state with a year round rowing season, and too old to do it anyway.

I guess it never occurred to these morons that a person who uses this stuff a lot as part of their profession also uses scores of other chemicals as we, and doubtless has much more UV exposure from the sun than average, and may be really into say, weed or Corona. How do they now the extra cases of cancer aren’t from any of the other hundreds of substances they have used or consumed, or some combination thereof?

[RedMonqey]

The best non-toxic solution for killing weeds is good old elbow grease: Get a trowel and dig them out.

Yeah that's how some of my ancestors used to do it....

But then they outlawed slavery and it takes a lot more "elbow grease" when you're farming 580 acres.

(Dumbass reporters)

[piasa]

Wouldn’t Monsanto employees have a similarly higher rate of non-Hodgkin lymphoma?

[Bommer]

You won’t need to use it if you lime your soil and get the PH down below 6. Most weeds thrive in high alkaline soil and if it rains a lot, you will need to lime often.

[Sequoyah101]

2% of the population get non-Hodgken Lymphoma? I must run with a really lucky crowd since I have only known one person who had it.

I’ve used glyphosate for ages. So far, so good.

The chick should try using elbow grease on miles of fence line before she dismisses the need for a good general herbicide.

"You may have sprayed it on your lawn or garden."
only if you want to kill every thing or have rounup ready plants.

[Grimmy]

A good solid concrete pad is my favorite weed killer.
