&gt; Bayer has argued that the cancer claims over Roundup and glyphosate go against sound science and product clearance from the EPA.<p>&gt; The agency [EPA] has upheld guidance that glyphosate is not carcinogenic and not a risk to public health when used as indicated on the label.<p>&gt; Bayer has said it should not be penalized for marketing a product deemed safe by the EPA and on which the agency would not allow a cancer warning to be printed.<p>&gt; Bayer plans to replace glyphosate in weedkillers for the U.S. residential market for non-professional gardeners with other active ingredients.<p>1. It’s not carcinogenic you weird hippy anti-science freaks.<p>2. Okay it is but not if you follow the directions.<p>3. Okay it’s carcinogenic and we wanted to print a warning but the EPA said no. But even though <i>we</i> knew it was dangerous we still used it because the EPA said it was fine?!? wut?<p>4. Even though it’s totally safe, because it’s not safe we’re going stop using it.
