  1. Of course it causes cancer. On the flip side, it's most affordable way to get rid of weeds and save crops for farmers across the country, saving their livelihoods. Feeding the country. It was the same with DDT. It's a case of people assuming products are perfect. There's no such thing as a product that kills most weeds that is somehow not going to adversely affect your health. You can't solve every problem with a chemical.. but we don't have any real alternatives yet. Hopefully someday we'll really have safe pesticides and herbacides but that day isn't here yet.

  2. I hope they shut this round up weed killer down. My Dad died from cancer in 2009, it wasn’t from the weed killer. I would hate for these families to lose their love one to cancer like I did.

  3. I just witnessed a meijer store employee in Michigan spraying roundup in the garden center, exposing customers to this hazardous chemical. I will not be shopping anymore. The store agreed to look into the issue.

  4. I got non-Hodgkin’s lymph Phoma at the age of 23 in the year 2000. In the lawn business we use round up quite often. Had to go through chemotherapy called C. H. O. P. and radiation. I survived but have many horrible health issues still today. I’m constantly afraid for my kids and my wife.

  5. Glyphosate is considered harmless by Patrick Moore (founder of Greenpeace). Glyphosate (glycine phosphonate) has been used for 40 years, is a photosynthetic blocker (enzyme), less carcinogenic than vanillin, vitamin D3, nicotine and even blocks prostate cancer. Phosphonates are detergents (lime solubilizers) and preservatives (cooking cheese, cola). Glycine is an amino acid (bodybuilding).
    The soil fauna (worms, beetles, fungi) is fully preserved in glyphosate in contrast to eroding plowing.

  6. I use roundup once on while . Curious how does it cause cancer or in what way .. I use gloves when handling also use a backpack type of container to spray it .. would imagine it's harmful if you inhale , touch it or use it alot …??? Just curious definitely don't want to get sick from it

  7. Wow the lady in the pink sure was excited and loud in informing the viewers about the harmful chemicals that this nasty monsanto's company has released to the population! We all were she is getting her paycheck from! Damn all why are any of you guys watching this news groups that deceive people? Or if they do say the truth they say it in a low tone voice, when she says cancer she says it under her breath..

  8. This is not about banning Roundup. This is about users needing to be informed of it's risk and of the protective equipment needed to keep yourself safe when using it. Just as the Tobacco companies have done, Monsanto is doing everything in their power to deceive the public and prolong their Monopoly profits. The leadership at Monsanto are despicable.

  9. Such hatred in the comment section on this. We'll probably hear case after case of 'me too' cancer now, and Bayer will be big in the news for the next 5 or so years. Remember the saccharin scare?
    To all the haters… to me, you sound like anti-vaxxers Probably against 5G, and believed your friends when pranked with monohydrogen dioxide and wanted it banned. I suppose that if you're against these things, then you're likely feeling out of place in this century. Maybe time to turn in that cancer causing cell phone, and move to the country and try a simpler life?

  10. No different than Dupont poisoning the world population with c8. Nothing happened to them, epa, dep and everyone else who knew and did nothing. None of the corporate executives ever go to jail, jail is for everyone else who breaks the law. The corporate banking world ruined the world's economy and no one went to jail. Get a grip, there is never any punishment for the corporate world.
