EPA won’t approve warning labels for Roundup chemical

[dead0man]

glysophate doesn't need a warning label because with normal use it's NOT a carcinogen.  I'm not sure why some people pick and chose when to listen to science.  Oh, yeah, when it doesn't fit their politics.

Do you have evidence that California, the International Agency for Research, and other followers that proscribe to glysophate restrictions are politicized? No? Then realize that the Californian state government has found that the use of this chemical compound is harmful by what the science of an institution not staffed by lobbyists tells them so.

doesn't CA say (nearly) everything is a carcinogen?  There are many more organizations (mostly not paid for by Monsanto) that say it's not a carcinogen.  It's been in widespread use since the mid 70s, all over the world, but especially the US.

that doesn't hurt any of my arguments

I know, just wanted to make a comparison...

In any case, there is a reason Americans get cancer more frequently than others, whether that's pollution, genetically modified food for human consumption (which is banned EU wide for example) or something else, there's obviously something. And that's excluding the fact that countries like France or Germany have a 2 times higher smoking rate than the US. (30% vs about 16%)

If the product caused cancer and was not labelled properly, it should be, no matter how much you need to use it to actually cause any harm.

interestingly (or not), the stats from your same site had in 2012-2014 the US 6th with 4 EU countries ahead of them (Norway,Belgium,France and Denmark).  Since Australia and NZ are consistently near the top, perhaps the sun (skin cancer) plays a big role in the numbers?  But then why is Israel (half the rate of Australia) at the bottom?  Are Jews and Arabs less likely to get skin cancer than whitey?

You seriously asked whether California calls just about everything a carcinogen? Now who's being political?

I don't think I understand what point you're making...unless it was a joke?  CA does force businesses to put cancer warnings on a bunch of goofy sh**t.  cite

You keep mentioning GMOs as if there is a known cancer link there....there isn't.


I wonder how much testing for cancer is at play.  I know when there was a push to test prostrates on more and younger men in the 90s there was a large uptick in the number of prostate cancer cases.
