50. Yep - you are correct. Only "Merican" studies here......

Excerpts from Regulatory Authorities: No Evidence of Carcinogenicity

German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR)
“In epidemiological studies in humans, there was no evidence of carcinogenicity and there were no effects on fertility, reproduction and development of neurotoxicity that might be attributed to glyphosate.” Glyphosate Renewal Assessment Report, Germany as Rapporteur Member State for the European Renewal of Approval for Glyphosate (2015)

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
“EPA has concluded that glyphosate does not pose a cancer risk to humans.” 2013 Federal Register Notice (FR 25396, Vol. 78, No. 84, May 1, 2013).

Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority
“The APVMA currently has no data before it suggesting that glyphosate products registered in Australia and used according to label instructions present any unacceptable risks to human health, the environment and trade. … The weight and strength of evidence shows that glyphosate is not genotoxic, carcinogenic or neurotoxic.” Australian Government, Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (2013)

Argentine Interdisciplinary Scientific Council
“…The epidemiological studies reviewed, showed no correlation between exposure to glyphosate and cancer incidence, nor adverse effects on reproduction, or Hyperactive-Attention Deficit Disorder in children. It is estimated that no significant risks would exist for human health regarding adverse effects on the genetic material. Under responsible use conditions for this herbicide, the intake of food and water would not imply risks for human health. “Evaluación De La Informacion Cientifica Vinculada Al Glifosato En Su Incidencia Sobre La Alud Humana Y El Ambiente,” (“Assessment of scientific information related to glyphosate and its incidence on human health and the environment”) (2009)

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
“Several chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity studies…resulted in no effects based on the parameters examined, or resulted in findings that glyphosate was not carcinogenic in the study” and “Glyphosate does not cause mutations.” U.S. EPA. (1993) EPA: Glyphosate. EPA-738-F-93-011. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC.

Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency
“Health and Welfare Canada has reviewed the glyphosate toxicology database, which is considered to be complete. The acute toxicity of glyphosate is very low. The submitted studies contain no evidence that glyphosate causes mutations, birth defects or cancer.” Doliner LH. (1991) Pre-Harvest use of glyphosate herbicide . Discussion Document D91-01. 98 pp. Pesticide Information Division, Plant Industry Directorate, Agriculture Canada.
