Don't forget the polyacrylamide that is added to Roundup that gets on
harvested
crops and produces carcinogenic compounds when those crops are cooked.
The cancer risk from eating cooked potatoes and bread containing acrylimide
has been in the news recently.

It's in the news because of it's presence being associated with industrial
cooking processes(hi temps etc.) and it's presence in fast foods NOT
because of an assoication with Roundup.

It is caused largely by acryamide residues from crops sprayed with Roundup
that convert to carcinogenic compounds when cooked. This abomination os fed to the unsuspecting public, often in fast food, consumed in great quantities.
You haven't been reading enough news. Your sources excluded the acrylamide
from Roundup factor, probably deliverately. READ the sanet-mg archives for
Aug., Sept. October for the thread on this topic, covered in great detail
with
mainstream media news reportage included. READ Joe Cummins posts, as I recommended. Joe's last post on the topic sums it up and lays blame on roundup.

Just because the M-bastards make tons of windfall profits selling Roundup to
anal retentive "gardener" idiots doesn't mean that it is legitimate to sell it to the public. It should be restricted to mainstream conventional large scale agriculture if at all. And to think the M-bastards created GE roundup-ready seeds. Look at the mess they've spawned, not to mention pollen pollution from GE crops destroying centuries old OP seed stocks. Look at what the EU is trying to do to accomodate the M-bastards and others of their ilk and their GE pollen pollution in European fields of OP traditional crops.
