Glyphosate: a rational approach of risk and the myth of purity or immaculacy

(in French)
Indeed the Greens share the myth of an immaculate planet and of purity of man before the industrial and chemical revolution. Nothing is more false and far from the truth. In the pre-industrial nature fire and pyrolysis were the most potent carcinogens as are radiations and radioactive minerals.
So the bottom line is to measure clinical effects of molecules issued from organic chemistry.
The idea behind this demonstrative measurement of glyphosate in the urine of nonagricultural workers is to underline that all people are "contaminated" and all comparative clinical studies are baseless... It is a powerful argument for laymen. But indeed it isn't.
Experimentally and more importantly in human studies, glyphosate is not a carcinogen neither at dose measured in agricultural workers nor in food consumers. Clinically if glyphosate was a true carcinogen we should observe more cancers in agricultural workers because dose matters in cancer development.
We are not free of organic molecules like biocides but also drugs and hormones like pill components. It is a concern but this contamination is carefully monitored and especially for glyphosate.
Today human cancers are not dependent on glyphosate consumption. This is the most important difference one must understand, a hazard with a weak or unmeasurable risk does not matter; on the other hand, a hazard confirmed by the measurement of a significant risk for humans should be of concern. Tobacco smoke is the first cause of human cancers and food carcinogens are the second.

En effet, les verts partagent le mythe d'une planète immaculée et de la pureté de l'homme avant la révolution industrielle et chimique. Rien n'est plus faux et loin de la vérité. Le feu et la pyrolyse sont les agents cancérogènes les plus puissants, tout comme les radiations et les minéraux radioactifs.

Le résultat final est donc de mesurer les effets cliniques des molécules issues de la chimie organique.
L'idée derrière cette mesure démonstrative du glyphosate dans l'urine des travailleurs non agricoles est de souligner que toutes les personnes sont «contaminées» et que toutes les études cliniques comparées sont sans fondement ... C'est un argument puissant pour les laïcs. Mais en effet, ce n'est pas le cas.
Expérimentalement, le glyphosate n'est pas cancérogène ni à la dose mesurée chez les travailleurs agricoles ni chez les consommateurs d'aliments. Cliniquement, si le glyphosate est un véritable cancérogène, nous devrions observer plus de cancers chez les travailleurs agricoles parce que la dose est importante dans le développement du cancer.
Nous ne sommes pas exempts de molécules organiques comme les biocides, mais aussi les médicaments et les hormones comme les composants de la pilule. C'est une préoccupation, mais cette contamination est soigneusement surveillée et surtout le glyphosate.
Aujourd'hui, les cancers ne dépendent pas de la consommation de glyphosate. La fumée du tabac est la première cause et les cancérogènes alimentaires sont les seconds.
Ces composés sont connus comme cancérogènes humains: cf supra.
