I have come to accept that Round-Up kills gut bacteria, when ingested.
This has serious health consequences.
Monsanto has financed a great many studies to try to demonstrate it is safe.
I trust them as much as the Vioxx studies.
So I personally avoid it.
This leaves more for those who want to use it.
Freedom involves choices.

Every time they come up with the latest scare about a pesticide, I wonder why professional exterminators aren’t dropping like flies (bad joke). I have not heard that people who have worked for years at this job have any higher rate of cancer or other diseases than anyone else.
The doses of these substances they give rats and mice would kill anyone. There are some foods that would kill at those amounts.
Monsanto has money and power. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Round Up and other herbicides. It has long been shown to cause cancer among other problems including early breast development in young girls. Monsanto has developed Round Up Ready plants (seed) as well as genetic modified plants (GM plants). I do not trust Monsanto and their propaganda. Its all about money and power and to heck with humanity for Monsanto.
Leaky Gut Syndrome:
Monsanto artificially increase the natural insecticides in plants to make them more resistant to pests.
Chemicals that are antagonistic to pests can also be antagonistic to humans.
By increasing the lectins to an unnatural degree, they make foods treated with glyphosate irritating to the intestinal villi. Continual irritation produces chronic inflammation, damage to the villi, and a porous condition in the lining, allowing partially-digested particles, especially protein fragments, to enter the blood stream, where they can produce an auto-immune reaction.
Just because a little of something once in a while is fairly harmless does not mean that a lot of it on a daily basis is good. (See: Alcohol.)
None of this has anything to do per se with cancer.

I have come to accept that Round-Up makes a very poor mixer for my bourbon. I would suggest you do not drink the stuff.

personally, i’ve never been tempted to drink gysophosphate, preferring instead to spray on weeds that i wish to kill ...
Facts:
Roundup used improperly - not following the directions on the label does cause harm. This is not the fault of the product, but the user - like saying guns kill people and taking away guns;
Sprayed Roundup is at a concentration between 2-4 percent, depending on which of the dozen manufactures formulations are present;
Concentrated Roundup (not available to the public unless licensed by their state) is around 46 percent glyphosate. The rest is water and surfactant (makes the glyphosate stick to the plant leaves);
8 people (as of last count) tried to commit suicide by drinking the concentrate:
7 had bad stomach aches’
One died;
Surfactants, which are in most store bought glyphosate products, have never been studied;
There is NO conclusive data on the effect of glyphosate on humans. Most data points to no effects - as glyphosate targets plant genes not human;
All stories found on the internet are just that: stories. Anecdotal evidence proves nothing, but is good ‘evidence’ useful for use winning law suits, scaring small children, and snowflakes
I loved Vioxx.

You’re right on the money on this.
