The EU just released an 11,000 page report on that topic. Their findings contradict your four word comment.

"Their" being the "Glyphosate Renewal Group", which requested the renewal and had to present studies that covered its safety. To sum those 11,000 pages up: the GRG investigated itself and found no problems, the EU trusts that these findings are accurate.

glyphosate is safe. on it's own it's not carcinogenic. however, the supporting ingredients and solvents are very carcinogenic.

Glyphosate has demonstrated a very significant potential to impact gut microbiome. Imbalance in the gut biota has been linked to an extraordinary number of negative health conditions, including many cancers as well as modern epidemics such as obesity, depression and auto-immune illness. For example, glyphosate has been specifically linked to Celiac's, which is increasing significantly in prevalence.

I don't know if I'd be so quick to call it 'safe.' It requires an infinite number of experiments to prove any chemical is perfectly safe. It requires only a few to demonstrate the opposite.

Bad public transportation is also linked to depression. Nothing's safe lol

you trust safety based on headlines?
