I don’t care what glyphosate does or doesn’t do. Monsanto has a pile of research showing it as mostly harmless. Maybe that’s like Big Tobacco. Time will tell.

What I do care about is what Roundup does. There are many many curious compounds in Roundup, and some of them appear to be much nastier than glyphosate. If for instance all of these stomach problems people have been having lately are caused by application of Roundup to aid in grain harvesting, we need to know sooner rather than later. And it doesn’t really matter as much to me which chemical is the culprit. It’s the same bad actors regardless.

Yes, just like this study shows: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15929894

> Surprisingly, Roundup is always more toxic than its active ingredient.

Yeah. I dunno why that's surprising.

We put surfactants in pesticides so that the bugs absorb more. Stabilizers in other things so they don't break down. This is just another Thursday.
