IMO, the panic about glyphosate's health impacts is just based on empty hype, most risk assessments I've seen show it to be one of the safer herbicides out there.

If that's true, why have they lost the lawsuits? Just because it's "safer" doesn't mean it's still not toxic.

Why does everyone think that OJ Simpson killed his wife after he was acquitted by a jury? Just because you can convince 12 schlubs of something doesn't make something true or untrue.
