I've read that the chemicals in Roundup can not only cause cancer, but

I clicked the link to the study and got a 404. I went to the CRIIGEN
site. That study isn't in their files of studies.

A few years ago, a couple of reputable scientists fed beagles various
doses of borax for three months. The highest was equivalent to my
eating nearly a pound a week for three months.


Congratulations Sir! Your skepticism and critical thinking is spot
on. There's a reason you got a 404 error. That study was withdrawn
from the peer reviewed science journal it was published in because
of overwhelming criticism and debunking by peer scientists, with concerns
ranging from poor methods to fraud.

"This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).

The journal Food and Chemical Toxicology retracts the article "Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize," which was published in this journal in November 2012. This retraction comes after a thorough and time-consuming analysis of the published article and the data it reports, along with an investigation into the peer-review behind the article. The Editor in-Chief deferred making any public statements regarding this article until this investigation was complete, and the authors were notified of the findings."


But the folks with an agenda apparently keep using it anyway and some
people are easily duped.
