in reply to Palm Oil Detectives • • •Without taking hours to read all the material involved, such cases require either a known mechanism of action, or very good statistical evidence; backed by clear cause-and-effect evidence. It's not as simple as "everyone knows [such-and-such]", even though we all wish the world was simpler.
My understanding is that the science is out on glyphosate as a carcinogen, so it's hard to press a case on that argument.
