Default Monsanto will love this:glyphosate labeled probable cancer causing

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/e166a...-carcinogen-un

International Agency for Research on Cancer, a division of WHO.

Experts said there was "limited evidence" in humans that the herbicide can cause non-Hodgkins lymphoma and there is convincing evidence that glyphosate can also cause other forms of cancer in rats and mice.

IARC's panel said glyphosate has been found in the blood and urine of agricultural workers, showing the chemical has been absorbed by the body.

So, shouldn't we be taking the precautionary principle to heart in industrial use of the chemical?
