Subject: CalWeedTalk FW: a very good article on explaining glyphosate carcinogenic risk
Forwarding on a message from Joel Trumbo, the IPM lead for Cal Dept of Fish & Wildlife. Good to have some sensible corrective communication from the World Health Organization.

Subject: a very good article on explaining glyphosate carcinogenic risk
Probably the best explanation yet about why you should not be overly-concerned if glyphosate’s a probable carcinogen….
Are shark’s dangerous? YES.
Are they dangerous to you when you’re looking at them outside a shark tank? NOPE.
Do they pose a real danger to you if you’re a surfer and you’re in the water with them? YEP.
Even with sharks…. RISK = toxicity x exposure…or in this case… RISK = sharp teeth x you being in the shark-infested water!
