Please put on the label of glyphosate herbicides (aka Roundup, Ranger Pro, and 750 other generic brands) when used in California: Causes cancer and DNA damage https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.12.439463v1 "Roundup herbicides are more toxic than glyphosate, activating mechanisms involved in cellular carcinogenesis and causing gene expression changes reflecting DNA damage. This further highlights the power of high-throughput ‘omics’ methods to detect metabolic changes, which would be missed by relying solely on conventional biochemical and histopathological measurements. Our study paves the way for future investigations by reporting a panel of gene expression changes and DNA methylation sites, which can serve as biomarkers and potential predictors of negative health outcomes resulting from exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides."
