Roundup is sold in the US with a surfactant banned in Europe, enabling the glyphosate to penetrate the skin and circulate into people's bones. Roundup was approved on fraudulent studies; when that was uncovered, EPA asked Monsanto to do more studies, but Monsanto refused.
If you're curious about the science behind Roundup and cancer, here's a bit more information. Also noted in that report are multiple studies showing cancer-related effects in cells at levels below the regulatory thresholds.
"There's no science," say some comments.

*Roundup causes a variety of cancers in mice (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 highlighted).

*Multiple studies found genotoxicity in human cells.

*Roundup raises the risk of cancer in humans in a dose-dependent manner (95& CI highlighted).
Read some of the expert reports about Roundup and cancer:

*Dr. Weisenberger: usrtk.org/wp-content/upl…

*Dr. Neugut: usrtk.org/wp-content/upl…

*Dr. Portier: usrtk.org/wp-content/upl…

Bios below. They're not cranks. They're world-class medical researchers risking Monsanto's wrath.

I've seen criticism of "like 10 people." The ten richest Americans are worth $730 billion. The fourteen richest American families (excluding the Koch brothers, so no double-counting) are worth $511 billion. Together, they're worth more than 60% of Americans combined.
Thank you for all of your opinions, many of which are very bad. While you're here, can I interest you in learning about wealth & income inequality, estimates of @ewarren's reasonable wealth tax, and how @AOC's tax plan is historically normal and would not inhibit economic growth?
People still rolling in, so:

1) AOC's marginal income tax and Warren's wealth tax are great. Do them both.

2) Here's some sources for the numbers.

3) Here's also why "individuals" are different from "families." Koch brothers are not double-counted. ips-dc.org/wp-content/upl…

Some brief thoughts tangential to the Mueller investigation: our laws relating to white collar political crime are awful, and are totally different from our laws relating to everything else. /1
Like the Foreign Agents Registration Act. A person can engage in political activities "directly or indirectly supervised, directed, controlled, financed, or subsidized" by a "foreign principal" and not register with DOJ, so long as it's not "in whole or in major part." /2
Contrast that "in whole or in major part" limitation -- which has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt -- with civil forfeiture laws routinely applied against the poor, where property can be seized from people not even accused of a crime. /3 nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…

For reporters: some questions to ask Attorney General Barr at his inexplicable press conference.

1a) Why did you decide not to have Special Counsel Mueller speak at this press conference?
1b) If a member of the Special Counsel’s Office wanted to hold a press conference or to testify before Congress, would you allow them to do so? If not, why not?
2a) Special Counsel Starr filed a motion to unseal grand jury materials in conjunction with his report to Congress. Why didn’t you file a similar motion?

2b) Did you ever discuss such a motion to unseal with the Special Counsel’s Office or with anyone at the White House?

And here it is. More Monsanto internal emails and texts with the EPA.

In today's Pilliod v. Monsanto testimony, expert Dr. Charles Benbrook shared more about the scientific fraud by Industrial Bio-Test (IBT) Laboratories in the 1970s, and how Roundup was approved by the EPA based on IBT's invalid studies. #MonsantoTrial
Dr. Benbook is an agricultural economist and headed a subcommittee of the House Committee on Agriculture at the height of the IBT scandal from 1981-1983. @helenchristophi reported on his Johnson testimony and the IBT fraud here:

Bon je m'y colle. Mais je ne vais pas y passer des heures, j'ai mal dormi 😀 @SciencesPoulet
@AntBerranger @emma_ducros @agritof80 et aux autres. Petit rappels sur le #glyphosate.
Préliminaire : mes tweets n'engagent que mon opinion personnelle. Ceci étant dit, jevais commencer par une petite présentation pour ceux qui auraient la flemme d'aller voir mon profil sur #LinkedIn. Je n'ai pas de pseudo et c'est volontaire.

Suite du thread #glyphosate débattu dans l'émission @arretsurimages avec en invité Stéphane Foucart, Hervé le Bars et Sylvain Huet.
La méta-analyse de Chang & Denzell 2016 dont il parle pour justifier de l'augmentation du lymphome non-hodgkinien en présence de glyphosate est quand même pas la plus probante hein...
Il omet bien de préciser que c'est à peine significatif.
Bon, ça tourne autour du débat études publiées / non publiées (ou plutôt publiques / publiques) pour justifier de la fiabilité du CIRC par rapport aux agences.
Le manque de transparence est parfois regrettable oui, de là à dire que les agences sont pas scientifiques...

Raconte! Je vais essayer de raconter ce que je vis ici en @Grèce, ce que je sens, ce que je pense, en ce jour de "clean exit" (pas si clean que ça) du "bailout" qui nous a accompagnés et et formatés depuis 8 ans.
1. La #Grèce regagne aujourd'hui son indépendance financière. C'est important pour l'Etat grec, c'est important pour l'Union européenne. Pour le citoyen grec, dans sa vie quotidienne, cela ne change rien.
2. La reprise économique est ténue, se fait surtout sentir dans le secteur du tourisme. Les Grecs continuent à vivre en suspens, en attente de la fin de la crise. Or la crise, celle de la #Grèce dans l'€, est finie depuis le 13 juillet 2015.

"Our adaptation to the environment has made significant progress...particularly under the European Deterrence Initiative" per Gen Scaparrotti, calling it "the largest reinforcement of Euro-Atlantic Defense in a generation"
Gen Scaparrotti also says @NATO alliance "is strong" and that "European allies & #Canada have turned a corner on defense spending with increases in each of the past 3 years" adding $46 billion to defense spending
