Re: “Bayer can take the Roundup formulation and remove whatever carcinogenic chemical that was used and find a replacement if it is even needed and reformulate.”
The evidence that glyphosate is a carcinogen to humans is thin. The IARC has it in the "probable" category - relying on data that industry insiders say was cherry picked. A separate U.S. study found no tie between glyphosate and the cancer in question, non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Roundup is glyphosate. You can't pull that out of Roundup and still have Roundup.

Eliminating Roundup from the U.S. farm industry will be a devastating blow. It will make food prices soar. Neither Ortho nor anybody else has anything like it. And it's being pulled based on WEAK evidence. Bayer/Monsanto is just tired of ridiculous U.S. judgements against it.

Bayer can take the Roundup formulation and remove whatever carcinogenic chemical that was used and find a replacement if it is even needed and reformulate. I realy do not believe this is going to be insurmountable and may even be a smooth transition.

We will have to wait and see but that is how I see that going down. Bayer is not wanting to lose all that revenue so we shall see what happens next...
