I agree, "Please don't spread fake news."
It is not the safest alternative for the intended purpose, though other
alternatives may not be as convenient or easy.
There is so much information out there, it makes my head spin. It behooves
us to do our own research. Of course, we are very good at rationalizing to
agree with our own purposes.
I would like to express my thanks to our European members who so reasonably
expressed their perspectives.

Use of different data sets can lead to different results. Data provided by
companies on their own product cannot be trusted. Their only goal is
making a profit, in some cases no matter the cost to any external entities
or life forms, human or otherwise.

"In March 2015, the World Health Organization's International Agency for
Research on *Cancer* (IARC) classified *glyphosate* as "probably
carcinogenic in humans" (category 2A) based on epidemiological studies,
animal studies, and in vitro studies." -
wikipedia.org <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyphosate/>
Common weed killer glyphosate increases cancer risk by 41%, study says -
http://cnn.com/2019/02/…

"Manufacturers selling glyphosate-containing products have claimed for
years the chemical is safe for humans to use, stating the herbicide only
harms plants. Data now suggest otherwise, however. Glyphosate exposure is
linked to chromosomal and DNA damage in human cells, as well as
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other types of hematopoietic (blood
cell-related) cancers. More than 25 countries and some jurisdictions in the
U.S. have banned or restricted the use of glyphosate." - Regional Cancer

On, and on, and on, and.............................
Convenience all too often eclipses reason.

There's been NO scientific proof that glyphosate is carcinogenic. In
fact, it's been shown not to be multiple times. Please don't spread fake
news.

Why would people use it? Because it's the safest alternative for the
intended purpose.

Monsanto may be a large multinational corporation that is irresponsible in
a number of ways, but whatever "Evil" it may commit in certain
circumstances does not make all of it's products evil by association. If
we used that standard then we'd never buy anything because everyone is a
sinner.

Monsanto is evil and Roundup is carcinogenic; why would anyone use it
