We do not say "Roundup is harmless," you simply made that up.

Even water is harmful in large quantities.
(Yes, people have died from drinking too much water.)

Roundup, used AS INSTRUCTED, is not harmless, but it's not going to cause cancer and autism and Parkinson's.

Now, you want ACTUAL harm?

How about these links from the premier anti-Monsanto group:

Wheat is sprayed with Roundup before harvesting.... HeartoftheMidwest Jul 2016 #13

Soy and corn too n/t TexasBushwhacker Jul 2016 #8

Actually, the wheat is not GMO but it is sprayed with Roundup a week before harvest to dry it out womanofthehills Jul 2016 #11

so the majority of the wheat in the USA is contaminated with glyphosate Elmergantry Jul 2016 #17

Actually, Tropical Traditions - only sells organic and could barely find wheat without glyphosate womanofthehills Jul 2016 #25

Same researcher claimed GMOs were going to make everyone autistic Major Nikon Jul 2016 #2

And she says GMOs cause concussions, too! HuckleB Jul 2016 #3

The problem is there is no real penalty for being spectacularly wrong. Archae Jul 2016 #4

Nor is there any penalty at DU for ugly attacks against posters who prefer science. HuckleB Jul 2016 #30

Again Projection on who is making ugly attacks!!! womanofthehills Jul 2016 #59

There's no projection. HuckleB Jul 2016 #61

Guess the lawyers against Monsanto have some "good science." womanofthehills Jul 2016 #162

Courts don't do science well, and they haven't even won anything. HuckleB Jul 2016 #165

Many other countries have also banned GMO's - Poland is joining the long list womanofthehills Jul 2016 #57

So you acknowledge that many European politicians aren't very good at science. HuckleB Jul 2016 #93

sciencebasedmedicine is run by a corporate shill - womanofthehills Jul 2016 #14

Once again, you are not being honest at all. HuckleB Jul 2016 #28

Yet another example of how stupid pseudoscience nonsense like the OP costs you money Major Nikon Jul 2016 #103

So you believe our food supply should not be tested for herbicides and chemicals. womanofthehills Jul 2016 #152

Nope, it is an incredible waste of money. MohRokTah Jul 2016 #153

Actually, Mike Papantonio of Ring of Fire is listed as one of the best lawyers in America womanofthehills Jul 2016 #33

He's tainted by association with RFK Jr. MohRokTah Jul 2016 #36

Actually, many people have been injured by vaccines and RFK Jr has represented them womanofthehills Jul 2016 #44

RFK Jr. is an anti-vaxxer nutcase pushing the phony auism bullshit. MohRokTah Jul 2016 #45

Actually, the government Vaccine Court does compensate for autism - from CBS News womanofthehills Jul 2016 #56

Yet Autism has never been caused by vaccines. MohRokTah Jul 2016 #60

So you're an anti-vaxxer also Major Nikon Jul 2016 #77

I never said that - womanofthehills Jul 2016 #81

So why are you working so hard trying to defend JFK Jr's anti-vax nuttery? Major Nikon Jul 2016 #83

Well, it's not the first time she's pushed anti-vaccine nonsense. HuckleB Jul 2016 #90

Gotta love being able to have your cake and eat it too Major Nikon Jul 2016 #95

It is truly amazing, indeed. HuckleB Jul 2016 #96

Your status as an anti-vaccine promoter is well known. HuckleB Jul 2016 #91

The last time you promoted that guy and that page, it didn't work out so well. HuckleB Jul 2016 #39

Of course you would not like a lawyer who goes after polluters womanofthehills Jul 2016 #49

Of course, you would go with a red herring. HuckleB Jul 2016 #51

And they would be wrong, and not progressive. HuckleB Jul 2016 #92

You are on a liberal site saying it's dumb to condemn Monsanto womanofthehills Jul 2016 #21

I love good science, not Monsanto. eom MohRokTah Jul 2016 #23

Yes because those diseases never occurred before Roundup went on the market. Warpy Jul 2016 #27

Actually, autism is increasing big time - 6 to 15 per cent each year womanofthehills Jul 2016 #50

Increased diagnosis doesn't necessarily mean the condition is getting more common. Marr Jul 2016 #54

Well, we have that figured out already. HuckleB Jul 2016 #55

I found the idea of people spraying Roundup willy-nilly in the suburbs quite amusing. NuclearDem Jul 2016 #108

Have you never had a lawn? Millions of people spray Roundup on the weeds in their lawn. womanofthehills Jul 2016 #111

The key word being weeds, not lawn Major Nikon Jul 2016 #116

Of course, if you use it on the weeds in your lawn, you will probably kill lawn, too. HuckleB Jul 2016 #118

So you are opposed to poisons. HuckleB Jul 2016 #136

Roundup is a poison. You know it and I know it. The difference is that you are hysterically Squinch Jul 2016 #139

So you only "care" about one product. HuckleB Jul 2016 #141

It's an obvious fact in the same way salt and vinegar is a "poison" Major Nikon Jul 2016 #172

I understand you have a passionate desire to defend complete bullshit like the OP Major Nikon Jul 2016 #154

I have said, which seems to terrify you, that Roundup is a poison that is damaging to people. Squinch Jul 2016 #157
