Oh, I know. I have no idea what made my parents get sick but it was environmental.

It's always something for the ambulance chasers to create a non-causal correlation with a disease or death. I've been using Round Up for decades. I'm pushing 70 years and my latest physical (including advanced blood panels) has me around 50 years.

People get sick and die. I hate these lawyers who use small limited case studies to claim some product that is a benefit for many to get their 1/3rd payment from stupid juries. Remember the Alacar scare that almost killed off the apple industry back in the 70's? It was BS. The shysters finally gave up because no one was proven to have died from Alacar.

"Many of those suits were spurred by a 2015 World Health Organization analysis that said glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic in humans.”"

The key word "probably" by the WHO which has been so wrong so many times.

Alva and Alberta Pilliod, the plaintiffs in the California case, argued they developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma following decades of using the weedkiller."

How do you prove the above with all the other thoudands of products available and a person's genetics? People get lung cancer who have never smoked. Others get melanoma after avoiding the Sun for a lifetime.

"Same for the "second-hand smoke" bullshit. Nothing's ever been proved.'

I'm always amused at the idiotic commercial that shows someone smoking 2 stories down, going out the window, entering in a window (if open) and finally ending up in the baby's crib upstairs? What? All that open air does not dilute the smoke? Simple chemistry.

I personally believe it's always been about the smell. Think of all the orders from cleaning chemicals parents so often use? I hate the smell of Lysol, maybe I should sue someone?

Sheesh, I grew up with both parents chain smoking non-filtered cigs in the house and I'm almost 70.

The real question is how they can possibly get along on only $2 BILLION?
