How does that relate to question at hand - whether glyphosate is a carcinogen? yellowcanine Mar 2015 #16

What do you think of the companies that make glyphosate? SoLeftIAmRight Mar 2015 #17

Sorry, only Merican science is valid whatchamacallit Mar 2015 #27

Only Merican science funded by corporations is valid! All them Gubmint studies Zorra Mar 2015 #29

Yep - you are correct. Only "Merican" studies here...... yellowcanine Mar 2015 #50

Interesting how IARC relied on Séralini's widely discredited rat study Major Nikon Mar 2015 #34

Write them a stern letter and explain to them why their findings are all wrong. nt Zorra Mar 2015 #36

I'm sure they knew before they published it Major Nikon Mar 2015 #37

Nice try! But more fail. It does not even indicate that the IARC used the Seralini Study Zorra Mar 2015 #39
