Roundup and Cancer By Mrs Vera West

     I always had a bad feeling about Roundup. I had a neighbour who worked in Queensland doing spraying, and he felt that Roundup was so safe that one could drink it! What was going on in his brain? Was his blood 50 percent roundup?

“Some of the UK’s top DIY chains have put the popular weedkiller RoundUp under a safety review, after a landmark ruling in the US saw a man with terminal cancer successfully sue its manufacturer Monsanto. Homebase, which has over 250 stores across the UK, said Saturday that they would review all of their products which contain the herbicide glyphosate. “We have confirmed that we will be reviewing our range of weedkiller products,” a spokesperson for the company said. Another store, B&Q, said that they have been reviewing its weedkillers regularly since 2017.  “We have a record of acting ahead of legislation where appropriate. We led the way in removing three pesticides in 2013 and neonicotinoids from our flowering plants in 2018. “We offer alternatives to glyphosates and are currently undertaking a broader review of all our garden products,” a spokesman for B&Q said. The announcements come after an American school groundskeeper, Dewayne Johnson, successfully sued the agrochemical giant Monsanto in a landmark case. Johnson says he developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after using Monsanto’s RoundUp and Ranger Pro weedkillers for years. A California state jury awarded Johnson $289 million (£226m) in compensation on Friday after finding Monsanto had not adequately warned users of the herbicide’s risks. They also found company officials to have acted with “malice and oppression” in their selling of the product despite its risks being known.”

     So, there is your warning. In my opinion, and I am nobody, going organic is the way to go, even for weed control:

     But, there may be farmers out there with commercial crops who disagree, so I would welcome any helpful suggestions. Surely to have nice tomatoes, people don’t have to get cancer? Any ideas from our farmers?
