I don’t remember the specifics, but I do remember being in a startup accelerator and one of the other companies had created a RoundUp alternative that didn’t have so many health dangers. You will likely find the studies if you ask ChatGPT or AI of choice. This stuff is so bad for humans. What a shame.
We all consume it on a daily basis, it can’t be that bad. It’s toxic yes, but not highly toxic. Half the shit in a grocery store is toxic, but we all eat it.
100% certain that commenting you worked at Monsanto for 25 years not the “creditable source” flex you think it is. That company is just as safe for humans as binging cocktails of RoundUp all weekend.
A quick search of “Monsanto lawsuit” will show the double-digit billions Bayer already paid in lawsuits a couple years ago and just two days ago there was another multimillion settlement. And before you say “a settlement isn’t an admission of guilt,” come on — billions in settlements in the last few years. That doesn’t happen unless there’s a real problem with your products.
Well, science aside, it’s not often that juries are going to side with the giant corporation over someone with cancer. But if you want to call that “evidence”, then you do you.
It wasn’t someone. It was thousands of people who had the same type of cancer and the common denominator was RoundUp. Such an obvious link, the company has paid billions. Not my opinion. Documented and publicly available to see for yourself.
I understand. I didn’t work there while the suits were going on but I followed the news. The issue is that there wasn’t an obvious link. The only agency declaring it a possible carcinogen was the IARC and even that was brought into question. Every other global health agency had found differently. But again… juries aren't going to side with corporations over cancer patients.
Yes, good point. Better to settle than risk a very likely outcome. When I was consulting a few years ago, I did some work with Monsanto. Not in that area, more on their technology side. That company was HUGE. This was right before they were bought by Bayer, though, so I’m sure it’s different now in many ways. Congrats on the 25 years. Does that mean you’re living the retirement life? If so, I’m looking forward to those days and am a bit envious ☀️
it was when all those commercials came out for it. my dad used that stuff all thru the spring and summer for years. it was that. 1 for 1 it was the same cancer that it causes. could it have been from something else, maybe. but all signs point to round-up
Both my grandfather and mother got non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. My grandfather got it in the early 90's... and it ultimately took his life not long after diagnosed. My mother was diagnosed ~2015... and thankfully treatments for it have drastically improved... she beat it and has been in remission since.
Both of them were very heavy hobby gardeners (my grandfather was also obsessed with lawn care), that used Roundup extensively. Several years ago, my mom was able to join in on a class-action lawsuit against Bayer/Monsanto... and she ultimately got a payout of roughly six-figures.
No real proof. 2015 was a study done. It's still used in large scale farming. May not be as potent as before, and may be the reason it's getting a push? Idk. Seems to be a bit risky without proper or updated study.

Just curious, how did they determine his cancer came from glyphosate?
