Glyphosate decision - ELI assessing whether to appeal
A charitable trust, which unsuccessfully pushed for a review of glyphosate use in the country, says it is disappointed by the decision of the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).
But did this eager offshoot of the United Nations properly assess the threat of glyphosate before setting the cat among the pigeons? No new studies were done, rather 17 experts were asked to review publicly-available studies about glyphosate then issue their assessment of the risk.
The same process apparently led this august body to declare night shifts and hairdressing as “probably carcinogenic” and coffee as “possibly carcinogenic”.
