""An extensive database exists for evaluating the carcinogenic potential
of glyphosate, including 23 epidemiological studies, 15 animal
carcinogenicity studies, and nearly 90 genotoxicity studies for the
active ingredient glyphosate. These studies were evaluated for quality
and results were analyzed across studies within each line of evidence.
The modified Bradford Hill criteria were then used to evaluate multiple
lines of evidence using such concepts as strength, consistency, dose
response, temporal concordance and biological plausibility. The
available data at this time do no [sic] support a carcinogenic process
for glyphosate. Overall, animal carcinogenicity and genotoxicity studies
were remarkably consistent and did not demonstrate a clear association
between glyphosate exposure and outcomes of interest related to
carcinogenic potential."
