Good!
Roundup is not the cancer issue they are accusing them of.
This is just another money tree the lawyers have dreamed up.

This article makes it sound like anyone exposed and got NHL can sue and is awarded huge sums. That is extremely false. So, this article begins deceptively. Next, I do believe it can cause cancer. Without a doubt.

Not necessarily. Roundup does mimic a molecule in glucose metabolism, and can block processing of it, causing the body to build up an excess which can trigger cell proliferation. And cell proliferation is one of the step s in cancer formation. People were thinking glycolysis abnormalities were a step in cancer formation long before Roundup showed up.

And I haven’t seen anybody argue that yet either. Most of the arguments are studies showing linkages between exposure and some types of cancer. But unbeknown to them, there is a logical reason to think those studies might be right.

Also bear in mind companies like roundup hire people to post positive posts on message boards to try and sway public opinion. I was on Free Republic from the beginning under a different user name, and I see a distinct change in the dialog here, from debating to attacking, molding opinion, and social shaming.
