A buddy of mine is a professional, PhD hydrologist. According to him, 
the "inert" ingredients listed anonymously on the Roundup label are in 
some cases *more* toxic/problematic than the glyphosate, the "active" 
ingredient itself. But they don't have to be listed on the label because 
that is "proprietary" information. And of course they are "inert," after 
all.

Another pig in a poke.
