The unknowns surrounding the mysterious rise of cancer in young adults

All the studies say glyphosate is safe. But, glyphosate use really ramped up in the 90s with "round up ready" GMOs being created in 1996. It is even sprayed pre-harvest to uniformly dry grains for harvest.

Who knows if glyphosate is causing cancer. I think there is strong evidence that it is the cause of the rise of celiac disease cases.

i am not convinced the rise of celiac is not due to some combination of better testing/new thresholds and more awareness to get testing

I actually did and it said: "While the proportion of critically viewed gliadins fell by around 18 percent, the proportion of glutenins rose by around 25 percent."

Sure, you can say one thing is a little bit lower and another thing is a little bit higher, so it is the same. But as I always said: Units! Units! Units!

Maybe the glutenins are underrated?
