What's Your "Daily Value" Of Glyphosate? I Page 3 of 13 <br /> exposures, mostly agricultural, in the <br /> USA, Canada, and Sweden published since <br /> 2001. In addition, there is convincing <br /> evidence that glyphosate also can cause <br /> cancer in laboratory animals. On the <br /> basis of tumours in mice, the United <br /> States Environmental Protection Agency <br /> (US EPA) originally classified glyphosate <br /> as possibly carcinogenic to humans <br /> (Group C) in 1985. After a re- evaluation of <br /> that mouse study, the US EPA changed its <br /> classification to evidence of non- <br /> carcinogenicity in humans (Group E) in <br /> 1991• The US EPA Scientific Advisory Panel <br /> noted that the re-evaluated glyphosate results <br /> were still significant using two statistical tests <br /> recommended in the IARC Preamble. The IARC <br /> Working Group that conducted the evaluation <br /> considered the significant findings from the US <br /> EPA report and several more recent positive <br /> results in concluding that there is sufficient <br /> evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental <br /> animals. Glyphosate also caused DNA and <br /> chromosomal damage in human cells, <br /> although it gave negative results in tests <br /> using bacteria. One study in community <br /> residents reported increases in blood markers of <br /> chromosomal damage (micronuclei) after <br /> glyphosate formulations were sprayed nearby. rp9 <br /> ,][CJF emphasis added <br /> And, <br /> Glyphosate currently has the highest <br /> global production volume of all <br /> herbicides.The largest use worldwide is in <br /> agriculture.
