I consider glysophate environmentally pretty dangerous (e.g. destruction of the subsurface rhizome and mycozome structures/ecosystem) but have never understood the alleged carcinogenic mechanism of action.

A few jobs ago I had a chemist co-worker who’d actually worked on it (manufacturing development, not original synthesis). He was, not surprisingly, a big fan, but we did have Many long discussions as to its chemistry, mechanism, and (lack of?) human impact.

All that being said do note delhanty’s comment which is meta analysis of the posted article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21872497 Just because I don’t understand a particular point (and have some minimal qualifications for such an opinion) doesn’t make me right.
