Like vaccines, and GMO foods, glyphosphate (Roundup) attracts a lot of irrational opposition:
"Until such time, here’s my summary of the main problems with [White Wash].
Claims glyphosate causes Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, except the data shows it doesn’t.
Claims Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma rates went up over the last 20 years when they have actually remained the same.
Reports that Glyphosate is found in breast milk when the peer-reviewed literature shows it is not.
Sets up a cartoonishly false dichotomy between heroes and villains that reveals a systematic, underlying bias.
Blames the retraction of Séralini’s study on Richard Goodman, when he was not involved in its review.
Throws a defense of a retired consultant to the IARC glyphosate review panel claiming his independence of financial influence (which we now know to be false), while chastising a retired consultant whose views differ from hers.
Falsely smears independent groups like Science Moms and March Against Myths as being run by industry (they’re not).
Systematically omits industry funding and affiliations for her own organization and those who she quotes favorably.
Entirely ignores the extensive, important, detailed, 2-year long key review of the GMO arena done by the National Academy of Sciences, #GECropStudy http://nap.edu/gecrops.
Fails to engage in a reality-based discussion of farming issues faced by growers in the real world.
For those who feel the need to bash their heads against the wall, I’ll take you through these issues step by step, of course, doused and drenched with snark. Who’s ready for some hogwash?"
