We used Round-Up for 23+yrs at the nursery and on customers’ properties, and I’ve never heard of a single case of cancer.
Unless maybe you drink a glass of it for lunch each day.

As with any chemical, personal protections - long sleeves, gloves, eye and face protection etc - are in order when you use it.

Reading toxicology reports now...

Same here. We've used it here at our property since it was first available in the 1970's with no ill effects to humans or livestock.

“Unless maybe you drink a glass of it for lunch each day”

Years ago, when they were first starting to push Roundup, a factory rep came to our tree improvement cooperative meeting and told us one of the chemical engineers drank a glass to show how safe it was...

exactly, how are they going to prove the cancer came from the weed killer? people get cancer without being exposed to harsh chemicals all the time- IF there was a rash of people- a majority, getting cancer who used roundup- then ok- there might be something to the claim- but how many people have had their cancer directly linked to roundup?

That’s like when they banned cigarette smoking in hospital parking lots- how in the world could they ever prove that someone walking into a hospital got cancer from someone down the other end of the lot smoking? Where is the DIRECT link? How can it be proved? IF a majority of the people walking into hospitals through parking lots ended up with cancer- then yeah- there might be a case there- but a couple of people winding up with cancer does NOT prove they got it walking through the parking lot when the majority of people going through the lot never get cancer
