Facts:

Not so much.

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;

This does not mean that used "properly" it is without harm.

8 people (as of last count) tried to commit suicide by drinking the concentrate: 7 had bad stomach aches’ One died;

Don't think anyone is talking about drinking it.

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;

I am specifically talking about gut bacteria, which is affected and consequently, the human that relies on gut bacterial.

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

Anecdotal evidence is cause for study. Monsanto focuses on sci-prop to keep it from being revealed.

Drink as much as you like. I'll avoid it.

My facts come directly from those who are studying it and are current as of a few months ago.

“This does not mean that used “properly” it is without harm. “

Yes it does. You are completely mistaken here.

“Don’t think anyone is talking about drinking it.”

It was mentioned several times - this is a current fact as to potency of glyphosate full strength vs store bought.

“I am specifically talking about gut bacteria, which is affected and consequently, the human that relies on gut bacterial.”

Sorry there is no data on that aspect. You are mistaken or have fallen for some misinformation. It has not been studied, so there is no way to come up with that idea.

“Anecdotal evidence is cause for study. Monsanto focuses on sci-prop to keep it from being revealed.”

Anecdotal evidence is not data and is no evidence at all - like hearsay in court - not admissible. If like believing rumors and spreading false information based on those rumors (hearsay, anecdotal) that’s up to you, but nothing you claim is supported in the literature.

Enjoy your weeds.
