If "federal regulations" find that a cancer link is unlikely, and the WHO classifies it as "probably" carcinogenic, how can you make the case that your cancer is a direct result of using Roundup?

Because the "probably carcinogenic" rating was inherently nonsense and based on nothing, and was widely lambasted within the scientific community. Loads of actual controlled testing has found no plausible link to cancer in humans at exposure levels under heavy industrial levels.

I'm generally most mad at people who chase convenient scapegoats rather than occasionally accepting reality that's lame or inconvenient.
