The collective discussions strongly challenge the credibility of the original safety assessment, with many posts highlighting the retraction of the influential 2000 review, citing conflicts of interest and politicized science. The tone reflects concern and skepticism, exemplified by phrases like 'officially disavowed,' 'fake and ghost study,' and references to the potential influence of industry interests, which underscore the high impact and deep engagement in questioning established narratives about glyphosate's safety.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most social discussions recognize the retraction of the 2000 review and express skepticism about its initial conclusions, showing strong disagreement with previous claims of glyphosate's safety.
InterestHigh interest
Discussions are highly engaged, with many referencing the scientific controversy, retraction details, and implications for public health and policy.
EngagementHigh engagement
Participants delve into complex issues like conflicts of interest, scientific validity, and the politicization of research, indicating deep engagement.
ImpactHigh impact
The widespread attention to the retraction and its implications suggests this discussion has significant influence on public perceptions and regulatory debates.
Abstract in brief
Several regulatory agencies and scientific studies have concluded that glyphosate and Roundup herbicide do not pose significant risks to human health.
The review found that glyphosate and its breakdown product AMPA are poorly absorbed through the skin and gastrointestinal tract, do not bioaccumulate in tissues, and show minimal toxicity in various studies.
Current evidence indicates that glyphosate and Roundup are unlikely to cause genetic damage, cancer, or developmental problems in humans when used as directed.

"Concerns were raised regarding the authorship of this paper, validity of the research findings…"
Glyphosate most likely enters the body via the skin, mouth, and lungs. Once it gets into the body, it seems to build up mostly in the kidneys, liver, colon, and small intestine.

The entire glyphosate (Roundup herbicide) saga is an appalling example of politicized science and motivated reasoning. Now key anti-Roundup papers AND key pro-Roundup papers have been retracted. Worse, I'd be willing to take odds that partisans of both sides will be completely unbothered by this.
