They were not my facts. They are facts from the article you posted. The test was done by placing bacteria on slides and putting Roundup on them. No animals were tested. Sugar can kill bacteria.
Which of these facts do you dispute? My conclusion was that the article is agitprop. My conclusion is an opinion which you are free to dispute. Maybe you have a different conclusion based not the facts as presented in that article.
But then again, you have serious questions about unknown consequences.
Do you have some research that is not “paid for”? Where is all that research that is done for free? Free lab time, free supplies, free scientist and researchers, it must be a wonderful thing.
I loved Vioxx.
Oh yeah.
Glyphosate is a herbicide, not a pesticide.
It certainly thinned the herd!
That's just a silly distortion of the main point - research that starts out with a conclusion, is not objective. Not climate change, not drug companies, and not Monsanto.
Good luck to you... spray away especially all those weeds around your house.
Here's a paper showing a particular benefit of lectins: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/cf3d/b151d1c5829a9597f44d7385f7549e7dca7d.pdf Basically the opposite of what you stated. Also please provide a scientific reference on those "patented seeds" and their relation to lectins. There is a relationship with insecticides as explained in the paper. But not to any patented seeds. There are lectins occurring naturally in some beans that may make it difficult to absorb nutrients in our gut.
How many of them did you read? Here's one: https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/51684338/j.etap.2009.06.00120170207-29239-1q7mwki.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A&Expires=1540229062&Signature=Alf%2FXWbjf5Rf%2Bt%2FtHWBBfOubDMg%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DOxidative_stress_responses_of_rats_expos.pdf
It says glyphosate is generally not problematic except for raising cholesterol levels. The surficant in Roundup caused some problems as one might expect. Drinking detergent is generally going to cause problems. Glyphosate? Not so much.
Um, yes, sorry about that.
.
The fact is that it does massively cause much disease, including cancer.
That is what real honest ‘science’ has found to be true.
Legislated ‘science’ not so much.
This award is absolutely appropriate!

You’re right on the money on this.
Big Chem owns congress!
.
And you don’t think the organization at your link is supported by leftist, environmentalists and that they are not fully funded by special interests? OK....
And the incessant attack on chemicals is funded by people like Soros and Steyer. ACSH was formed by scientists who wanted to stop the scare mongering.
.
>> “Every time they come up with the latest scare about a pesticide, I wonder why professional exterminators aren’t dropping like flies” <<
They definitely are!
But many more are becomming vegetables from the strokes induced by pesticides. I don’t call that life, but who knows!
.
Please check out the link that a Freeper posted at comment #8.
The 28 are the tip of the iceberg.
But since you brought this up, I’ll add that my cholesterol is already high enough.
If you want a higher level for yourself, I support your right to ingest as much round up as it takes to get to your preferred level.

Keep your eyes covered, stomp your feet, and scream LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA.
Whatever you do, do not accept reality.
