Default Roundup Deemed Dangerous/ Poison Ivy Revisited

Products containing glyphosate also contain other
compounds, which can be toxic.


Vanilla extract contains alcohol, which can be toxic. Dose?

Glyphosate is technically extremely
difficult to measure in environmental samples, which means that data is
often lacking on residue levels in food and the environment, and
existent data may not be reliable.


Lovely. More info needed. Dragons are extremely difficult
to photograph in downtown Newark, NJ.

Glyphosate is found in weed killers and may cause cardiovascular,
gastrointestinal, nerve, and respiratory damage.

The eminent scientific journal?

Independent
scientific studies have shown that Roundup... destroys the vegetation


I should hope it would!

Although Monsanto claims that
Roundup breaks down into harmless substances, it has been found to be
extremely persistent, with residue absorbed by subsequent crops over a
year after application.


Roundup shows adverse effects in all standard
categories of toxicological testing


How many adverse effects? What rate? What is the margin of error?

This kind of reporting goes against what you are trying to do. Present

us with verifiable facts, figures, doses, and so forth, or you simply
add
to the vast bulk of logic fallacies and numerology that is the global
environmental movement today.
