"While the threat of glyphosate-resistant weeds is a nuisance for
farmers, it won't really scare anybody. So, in an effort to attack both
Monsanto and GMO crops in general, anti-science food activists accused
glyphosate of causing cancer. This is utter nonsense, but thankfully,
regulators appear to be siding with the evidence."
Glyphosate: A Slow But Steady Vindication
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

Anti-Glyphosate Is Looking Like Anti-GMO
""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."
