Default Roundup Deemed Dangerous/ Poison Ivy Revisited

There is NO way to test properly for human health problems, because you (and
nobody you know) would willingly agree to be dosed with pesticides as part
of an experiment. They cannot be tested in the same way as pharmaceuticals.
Therefore, you cannot assume they are safe or unsafe based on real evidence.
You choose based on what's convenient for you personally.

To add to the confusion, several scientists have pointed out that even if
you could get human volunteers, there'd be no way to determine what OTHER
toxins they were exposed to, via drinking water, food, occupational
exposure, etc. So, no controlled study is possible.


Controlled studies do account for such factors. It's simple science.


Take your pick. If you're among the meat heads who think a lawn that's 3%
weeds is the end of the world, use the chemicals.


Use roundup on lawns, and you have no lawn.
