...do you have any idea how many people die in a given year from non-hodgkins lymphoma in a year?

Following on that are you here to announce that all of these cases related to glyphosate, in other words that the disease was unknown before 1974?

What is the death rate from this disease per 100,000 people.

I personally worked on a few leukemia related projects, so I do have some perspective.

We have 7 billion people on this planet.

Any concern on your part on crop yields per hectare when we ban glyphosare because you read something written by a journalist writing a scientifically illiterate headline with the evocative but diotic use of "41%?"
