I saw an ad on Facebook not too many hours ago, which claimed that a link to non-Hodgkins lymphoma was found from glyphosate. That of itself doesn’t tell me anything useful: a compound found in celery can lead to skin cancer, yet nobody’s trying to ban or sue over celery. How was the glyphosate dose incurred? How severe was it?

Correlation is not causation.

Evaluation of these kinds of studies was part of my job for several decades. I can assure you no honest person who understands statistics would believe only a few of these findings.

Did he follow the instructions on the label?

If you don’t pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions for using a chemical don’t complain if you get sick
