Re: Who uses Roundup?

i'd pretty much dispute anything dr mercola says on principle - hes well known for contreversial and imo ill researched views - who we have seen before on here with regard to the dangers posed by cellphone masts, and sundry other things - he certainly isnt a well regarded medical authority.

now i'm not saying that roundup is great - or that having it sprayed all over your food is a good thing (weedkiller proof crops would be a disaster for wildlife amonst other things) but as far as i am aware there is no new research on the health issues attaching to glyphosate which are recognised by propper medical researchers.

when articles start appearing in new scientist or the lancet etc i'd be open to persausion but not from one way out talking head
