RoundUp (glyphosate) Causes Cancer, says World Health Organization

Monsanto receives billions each year from the sale of their soybeans, corn, and other seeds that have been designed to withstand its own herbicide spray. Monsanto is asking for a meeting with the WHO to discuss their findings. This St. Louis based company insists that the statement from the WHO contradicts what they call “decades of scientific review” that have called RoundUp safe. Monsanto spokespersons blast the IARC for “cherry picking” their data and accused them of having an agenda and called them “biased.”
Several consumer groups stated in a conference call with reporters that they were very hopeful that the IARC study would force the EPA to take action, or at least take a closer look at the safety of RoundUp. They also said that they hoped this study would encourage the White House to create a nationwide labeling law that would allow consumers to know whether or not the foods they were buying contained GMO ingredients.
It’s interesting to note that Monsanto, in response, did not decide to make their product safer. They did not, apparently, even consider ways to refute the claim, state that they would review this report, or that they might even consider re-formulating the product. Monsanto simply stomped their feet and demanded that these statements, backed by scientific data, be retracted.

Dave Schubert, from the cellular neurobiology laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California states “There are a number of independent, published manuscripts that clearly indicate that glyphosate can promote cancer and tumor growth and it should be banned.”
With the already existing overabundance of evidence from previously published research papers, on top of this recently released study, it becomes very clear that RoundUp is dangerous. There are hundreds of other means of fighting weeds besides resorting to a cancer causing, kidney killing herbicide such as RoundUp.

NORAHG RESPONDS AGAINST IARC AND ITS DISTORTED, BIASED, & PREJUDICED PESTICIDE-HATING FANATICISM ― THE LETHAL DOSE FOR INGESTING ROUNDUP IS THE VOLUME OF A CARTON OF MILK !
IARC is ABSOLUTELY WRONG ! International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) is RIDICULOUSLY IMPLYING that its false-evaluation of GLYPHOSATE ( Roundup ) is somehow being withheld from EPA, Health Canada, and EVERY other science-based regulatory agency in the world. IARC ( a.k.a. World Health Organization ) is NOT a government regulatory agency. It has NO regulatory authority whatsoever. IARC most certainly is NOT a science, NOT a research, and NOT a health organization. Rather, IARC tends to operate as an anti-pesticide & environmental-fanatic organization. Furthermore, IARC’s false-evaluations deliberately overstate the risks with arbitrary and selective « cherry picking » of data. IARC has NOT even conducted any original research that reveals any new information. It is clear that IARC has an agenda-driven bias for reasons of mere pesticide-hating fanaticism and politicized science. IARC IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED ! Only a small number of IARC’s false-evaluations have been reviewed by REAL AND INDEPENDENT expert-scientists, leading observers to conclude that its evaluations are colored by bias and are swayed by fanatic-activism. Consequently, REAL expert-scientists with direct experience with IARC have dissociated themselves from this fanatic-organization. THE PESTICIDE-HATING IARC HAS BEEN DISCREDITED ! Scientific research shows that, as reported through EPA’s and Health Canada’s vast toxicology database, NO harm will occur when pest control products like GLYPHOSATE are applied properly. All of these products have been evaluated for their carcinogenic potential. http://wp.me/p1jq40-6yf Even Canadian Cancer Society’s own web-sites state, repeatedly, that scientific research does NOT provide a conclusive link between pest control products and cancer. http://wp.me/p1jq40-4qc In fact, scientific research proves that pest control products will cause NO harm and do NOT cause cancer. PESTICIDES CAUSING CANCER IS A MYTH ! http://wp.me/p1jq40-2nl The current IARC evaluation of ingredients like GLYPHOSATE is limited at best, and is NOT reliable ! IARC has conveniently disregarded dozens of scientific studies, specifically genetic toxicity studies, that support the conclusion GLYPHOSATE is NOT a human health risk ! According to overwhelming scientific evidence, NO replicated scientifically-valid study has found any human harm from GLYPHOSATE. IARC’s false-evaluation has been refuted by REAL experts. EPA, Health Canada, and other science-based regulatory agencies have clearly demonstrated that Roundup is LESS TOXIC THAN Aspirin, baking soda, caffeine, cannabis, nicotine, table salt, and Tylenol. Roundup is NO MORE TOXIC THAN ethanol ( an edible beverage constituent in beer, wine, and other intoxicating beverages ), mouthwash ( Listerine ), and Vitamin C. Roundup is scientifically-safe, practically non-toxic, will cause NO harm, will NOT cause cancer, and will NOT cause irreversible damage if consumed orally. The probable lethal dose for a person ingesting the concentrated form of GLYPHOSATE is ONE LITRE, the volume of an entire milk carton. By comparison, drinking SIX LITRES of water, a fluid that is seemingly harmless, can lead to water poisoning or dilutional hyponatremia, which is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions. In essence, water is only FIVE TIMES SAFER than 2,4-D or Roundup. THE PESTICIDE-HATING IARC IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED ! Manufacturers have no other recourse than to LITIGATE against IARC !
