Hello Rick,
Even before Dr. Huber's recent warning of the possible connection 
between glyphosate and a new pathogen, there was enough research showing 
the dangers of glyphosate. Personally, I don't want glyphosate on, or 
in, anything I eat, thank you very much. Unfortunately for me, and for 
people like me, we are now in the position that we are sadly hoping that 
researchers such as Dr. Huber will find even more disastrous evidence of 
this chemical's health and environmental hazards, as this is our only 
chance to bring about the phasing out of its use.
If you have decided to post on SANET, a sustainable agriculture forum 
that has the Precautionary Principle as one of its cornerstones, perhaps 
you'd like to comment on published glyphosate hazards, such as the 
following :

Even the Purdue pdf. file you linked us to states (page 1) : "Research 
has indicated that plants sprayed with glyphosate or other herbicides 
are more susceptible to many biological and physiological disorders".
