Research has shown that the way Roundup kills amphibians is not via the
active ingredient, but by the surfactants, which are unregistered 'inert'
ingredients designed, as I think all of you know, to help the active
ingredient permeate the weeds.

Tanis,
A number of widely used insecticides are estrogen mimics and cause all sorts
of problems with vertebrates as well as the insects that they are supposed
to be targeted to. I think there are a lot more of them around even than
the true hormones.
