Glyphosate [[Round-Up]] Vs. Caffeine: Acute and Chronic Toxicity Assessments Explained

[Yooper]

The link is to a very long and dense SCIENTIFIC article that speaks to how courts/juries are getting the Round-Up story absolutely wrong.

BLUF: Round-Up is FAR, FAR less toxic than what you may be seeing on TV, hearing on the radio, etc. (from those ambulance chaser ads).

My take: what is happening in the courts (where juries are awarding damages for Round-Up use) are hurting both the legal system and the scientific method. Lawyers, activists, etc. are misusing data/statistics to win awards from juries who are more interested in the story than the science.

Anyway, for many (most?) the article will be in the TL;DR category, but it's an important piece. So posting it as a resource for those interested in the subject.

Saw a post about this on AoS (good in and of itself) and followed the link. Glad I did.

I'm not a huge fan of tort lawyers and their class action lawsuits. They're predators who rake in the millions while the actual plaintiffs receive zilch.

I think it's Grisham who wrote a book called "King of Torts". It was a pretty good inside look at the industry.

Lawyers, activists, etc. are misusing data/statistics to win awards from juries who are more interested in the story than the science.

The Asbestos lawyers begat and funded Smoking - 2nd hand smoke lawsuits which begat and funded Silicone Breast Implant lawsuits
