I'm not particular interested in proving or disproving glyphosate's safety.
For the purposes of this conversation, I'm only interested in calling out bad research/woo science when I see it. And this is precisely that.

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup”
I see no reason do distrust this women unless you have invested interest in roundup. This is a major issue and I’m so glad that we’re at least mentioning it, if not fighting for our collective best interest to be healthy.
As for why I distrust this woman: see my original comment. She isn't an expert, and she has a reputation of publishing junk science. The preponderance of historical evidence is already against Monsanto, so the junk she peddles is just noise in an otherwise compelling argument that glyphosate needs more scrutiny.
Put another way: if I were more conspiratorially minded, I would see someone like Seneff as controlled opposition: she's just credentialed enough to ensnare otherwise well-informed lay-people, but also just enough of a crank to be trivially discredited by potentially dishonest actors. But I'm not, and I'm inclined to treat her as another in a long line of well-intentioned non-experts who actively diminish the credibility of glyphosate safety research.
