[QUOTE="Nick Wagner, post: 1755624, member: 25329"] I remember when glyphosate was first sold to us farmers, and later what a miracle it was to harvest clean GMO bean fields some 25 years ago. I’ve also witnessed a surprising number of friends and family suffer from what is sometimes called farmers disease, non Hodgkin lymphoma. Makes a fellow wonder when you meet long time friends in the doctor’s waiting room two hours from home, suffering from a similar, but not identical, rare disease. It’s not just pesticides and herbicides that can cause health problems. Just came across an article on forever chemicals, what jumped out at me was the mention of birth defects, which were talked about earlier in this discussion. I’ll try to post a link. The news reports on these forever chemicals seem to be becoming more common, lately making headlines in Michigan and Maine. This story gives a little history with a cattle twist from West Virginia and Ohio.
