this is not a "true" Cochrane Review

https://www.cochrane.org/search/site/glyphosate

your link just used the method ( ~ aggregation of Ghostwriting researches)

EDIT: check the https://www.cochrane.org/search/site/vaccine

Both authors appear squeaky clean though from prestigious institutions. They've published about several other carcinogens throughout their careers and have appear to have no trouble with funding. I'm not sure why they'd be incentivized to ruin their careers over a single publication.

Do you want to expound on this? "squeaky clean" is a subjective value judgement of little value, and I can list dozens of heavily corrupt individuals from "prestigious institutions".

This is an interesting point. Can you say more? How do we determine whether this is a "true" Cochrane Review? Thanks!

in the "Cochrane Trials"

1.) "Measurement of Agricultural and Dietary Glyphosate Exposure Among Pregnant Women" January 2022

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00139...

"Human exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) is increasing rapidly worldwide. Most existing studies on health effects of glyphosate have focused on occupational settings and cancer outcomes and few have examined this common exposure in relation to the health of pregnant women and newborns in the general population. We investigated associations between prenatal glyphosate exposure and length of gestation in The Infant Development and the Environment Study (TIDES), a multi-center US pregnancy cohort...........Our results indicate widespread exposure to glyphosate in the general population which may impact reproductive health by shortening length of gestation. Given the increasing exposure to GBHs and the public health burden of preterm delivery, larger confirmatory studies are needed, especially in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and newborns."

Ah, duh, I should have looked at the link posted upthread, too. Thanks!
