In reply to the discussion: Study shows 99.6% of Germans tainted by toxic glyphosate (GMO handmaiden) [View all]Humanist_Activist
(7,670 posts)39. The problem is the studies fail to provide a mechanism of action...
because the people leading the study aren't biologists, so don't know what they are talking about.
Is glyphosate genotoxic? If so, how?
Is glyphosate neurotoxic? If so, how?
Demonstrate how this particular molecule can damage genes or brains, cross the blood-brain barrier, or cause whatever, and then, maybe, biologists would be interested. In addition, the correlations found are disputed themselves, and may be an example of cognitive bias.
