Does Roundup cause Cancer?

Appears Monsanto just lost its 2nd lawsuit saying Roundup caused a mans cancer......

...and if you’re in California, that “something” is everything! Can’t buy anything without seeing the “proposition 65” warning about cancer risk.

I lost 1 kidney to cancer
Will be 70 this Dec 9th. Will continue to spray Roundup on the poison Hemlock on moms farm. If it kills me, well I've lived a good life. My kids will get a little something when I kick off. That is if I can keep the old gal from opening a check book.

I watched a program on PBS about Cancer. Some of the most prominent Cancer Specialists in the nation spoke on the program. One Specialist drew a circle cut in half with one a half circle ,the other half slices like a pie. In the slices was marked all of the known causes of Cancer. Genetics,Environment, Food,Stress,Smoking,Viruses. In the other half he had written Unknown!

If you live long enough you will get cancer. What caused it? Everything.

I believe the roundup label has always stated that it could cause cancer. If that is true, the lawyers shouldn’t have a leg to stand on I would think.

If Momma's happy, I'M HAPPY!!

Well the other option is be outside in the sun with a hand swing weed wacker and a scythe for clearing ditches or fence row a hoe to cut out row weeds in fields and die of skin cancers. Who do you place a claim for on that, the tool makers?

As to Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, no one has been able to attribute any single compound or show any specific cause for the disease to date, just occurs as if naturally occurring.

This from the Mayo Clinic says SOME weed killers "MAY" cause, primary causes are viral or bacterial infections and immunosuppressant meds.

Some factors that may increase the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma include:
Medications that suppress your immune system. If you've had an organ transplant, you're more susceptible because immunosuppressive therapy has reduced your body's ability to fight new illnesses.
Infection with certain viruses and bacteria. Certain viral and bacterial infections appear to increase the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Viruses linked to increased non-Hodgkin's lymphoma risk include HIV and Epstein-Barr infection. Bacteria linked to an increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma include the ulcer-causing Helicobacter pylori.
Chemicals. Certain chemicals, such as those used to kill insects and weeds, may increase your risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. More research is needed to understand the possible link between pesticides and the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Older age. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can occur at any age, but the risk increases with age. It's most common in people 60 or over.

DDT and Paraquat based defoliants are different, much as some chemical solvents the stuff can absorb thru skin as well known poisons to humans. What comes to mind is Methyl Ethyl Keytone, (MEK) we used in the heavy equipment and some industrial base sites as a cleaning solution, could touch a bare finger to the stuff where instantly tasted it never touching your mouth with it. Destroyed the liver very toxic. We used the crap bare handed in the 70's. Imron Paint was thought low hazard except for the thinner fumes, turned out the stuff would layer into lungs and basically plate out, becomes epoxy or as fiberglass resin with a hardener, never leaves the human lung.

Way more deadly stuff out there, way more serious complicated effects and side effects and still in use. Welders are now suffering from Hexavalent Chromium or vaporized chromium poisoning where had welded stainless steel inhaling fumes.

What a bunch - Denying the TRYAL LAWYERS of their bred and butter of taking everyone to court for something - from week killer , to now gun manufacturers . 
 It seems the gene pool is to deep and it needs to be cleansed - it seems if you eat TIDE PODS it's the mfg fault for making them look pretty 
 THEN turn around and you have law makers saying doing Marijuana as a recreational product is good for you as it slowly kills brain cells and turns you into a Democrat who is willing to tax everything as IT'S FOR THE KIDS and besides people high on it will not commit any crimes . 
 Ah yes then they can take stoned drivers to court and say the car was at fault for the accident !

 So what most of you are thinking is a ship full of lawyer sinking would be a small start.

Key words in all this "May" cause, not will or could or has been shown to jus "May" as if they have not tested far and wide enough to know in the some thirty+ years has been out

NEVER green wrote: Both the USDA and EPA say Roundup is safe and non carcinogenetic. With no proof WHO started this, claimed it may cause cancer.
