The article mentions that Glyphosates are cancerous, but so is bacon, which people eat in large amounts. But this is only a qualitative measure. How much exposure are we getting? How much exposure gives an equivalent risk factor to eating one portion of bacon a week? Lazy comparisons like this raise a red flag for me. A scientific look at the harm caused by Glyphosates this is not.

It doesn't say Glyphosates are cancerous, it says the same international group (IARC) considers them to be cancerous, even at a higher risk level.
Also the authority and integrity of IARC is at question in this article.
