And the US EPA says that Roundup is not carcinogenic.

Ah the Occasional Cortex.

No it is not. The International Agency for Rearasrch on Cancer (IARC) found that it is likely. The IARC uses the Linerar No Threshold Model, and epidemiologicasl  studies. And that has been found to be bogus.

A study in Science Direct found high dosages in Asian farmers, but no sign of cancer.

"The most significant study, which was not peer-reviewed in time to be considered by IARC, was the Agricultural Health Study (AHS). The AHS included a prospective group of licensed pesticide applicators from North Carolina and Iowa. Of the 54,251 pesticide applicators participating in the study, 44,932 (82.8%) used glyphosate. In a 2018 peer-reviewed article "Glyphosate Use and Cancer Incidence In The Agricultural Health Study" in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the authors concluded, “In this large, prospective cohort study, no association was apparent between glyphosate and any solid tumors or lymphoid malignancies overall, including Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL) and its subtypes."

If you want to argue science say so.

Edit: from the IARC study -

"This was based on “limited” evidence of cancer in humans (from real-world exposures that actually occurred) and “sufficient” evidence of cancer in experimental animals (from studies of “pure” glyphosate)."

So limited studies, and no they don't use "pure glysphate" in weedkileers.

"Several of the epidemiological studies considered by the IARC expert Working Group showed increased cancer rates in occupational settings after exposure to glyphosate herbicides."

a a refernce for the  epidemiological studies.
