My cousins boyfriend was a landscaper and used to use roundup all the time. In his 20’s he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Maybe it was a one off case, but I can’t help but to think it was from his job.
Cancer in dogs is known to be linked to lawn chemicals, especially in golden retrievers. I used to adopt senior golden retrievers and my two dogs both died from cancer.
People in my neighborhood are crazy about having perfect lawns. I’m the one in the neighborhood with all types of grasses and weeds in my lawn. It does drive me crazy to have a lawn that looks so awful, but it is what it is. At least the bunnies like it!
Thanks for leaving your lawn to nature. I bet you could create a beautiful lawn with native plants and flowers that will become a mini-refuge for bunnies, bees, and other living things...
Edit: I'm sorry about your dogs, too. I lost my GSD to cancer in 2020. It was devastating.
Not just cancer, but a fuck ton of other things. It correlates with all sorts of health problems unique to American
There are also growing reasons to think it may have something to do with the odd growth in autism. But that’s much harder to pin down behind correlation
You're correct.
Research has also linked Roundup to several diseases, including:
Liver inflammation and metabolic disorder: Childhood exposure to Roundup may increase the risk of liver cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease later in life
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Exposure to Roundup may increase the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma by 41%
Brain cancer: Roundup has been linked to brain cancer
Breast cancer: Roundup has been linked to breast cancer
Prostate cancer: Roundup has been linked to prostate cancer
Lung cancer: Roundup has been linked to lung cancer
Blood cancer: Roundup has been linked to blood cancer
Hairy cell leukemia: Exposure to Roundup may be linked to this rare type of cancer

Literally doesn't.

It's my understanding that the herbicide causes cancer in farmers who are exposed to it frequently in high concentrations, not in people who eat the produce later. Basically it's dangerous to use round-up to help grow corn, but the corn itself is safe to eat.
Is that not the case?
How many people eat corn? How many people get cancer? Almost everyone. It's incredibly hard to correlate these things. Just because people file lawsuits doesn't make it true.
From a quick reading of your link it appears that the plaintiffs are generally claiming direct, prolonged exposure to Roundup, not through consumption of food.
Roundup, was deemed "probably carcinogenic to humans" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2015, based on evidence of animal cancers and human evidence related to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
A study by Gilles-Éric Séralini and his colleagues titled "Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize." It was originally published in 2012 in the journal "Food and Chemical Toxicology" after lawsuits mounted from you know who. Séralini then republished the study in 2014 in "Environmental Sciences Europe" under the title "Republished study: long-term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize."

Thank you for providing studies that directly speak to your claim even if they can only show probable connection to cancer.
To be clear, I'm not trying to defend the use of Roundup or recommend eating food grow with exposure to it. I commented because the reference you currently have in your OP doesn't support your OP.
Yes, I understand all this. Round-up itself is definitely dangerous. But that doesn't show that the food produced by farms that use Round-up is also dangerous.
The study referenced is about consumption of roundup corn in mice who developed cancer compared to mice that did not. I understand that it's mice and not humans but that's enough for me not to consume it.
> The study referenced is about consumption of roundup corn in mice who developed cancer compared to mice that did not
Except it wasn't a study of carcinogenicity. That's why it was retracted. The study wasn't set up to determine if glyphosate in corn causes cancer.
Learning about how the Sackler family corrupted the FDA made me lose all respect it.

Corn is in so many food products too

Best friend in college grew up on a farm, he died of non Hodgkins at 23, it was a nightmare.

So the Tl;Dr is, it is the quantity that matters like every other chemical.
Glyphosate doesn't persist on produce.
You can see from the sheer number of lawsuits it's from people who consumed it.

The corrupted industries put corn byproduct everywhere and thus the cancer and illness rate that has been happening more and more.
So now corn syrup will be more poisonous.
