janic quoted:It is important to recognize that the classification of the IARC monograph reflects the consensus position of an independent group of experts, based on a systematic review of all available studies.
No ! only a selection of those that went in the direction of the desired conclusion. In this case, it is no longer science but militancy
One more stupidity! Nothing to do with militancy or in this case everything is militancy, Like your pseudo science sect!
More serious:
Why there are differences of scientific opinion ?
The substance studied
Glyphosate can be studied in different ways:
As an active substance alone
In commercial formulation
With adjuvant like surfactant (POEA)
IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer)
especially evaluated glyphosate in commercial formulation while EFSA and other national agencies have looked at glyphosate as a pure active substance.
The choice of inclusion of studiesDifferences in analyzes also relate to the inclusion of certain studies. IARC has included all in vitro and in vivo studies including non-mammalian species
while other agencies have often restricted themselves in vitro and in vivo mammalian studies and following the OECD / GLP guidelines (sort of international validation). No study with OECD criteria has shown a significant effect of genotoxicity or increased risk of cancer in animals.For carcinogenicity, ECHA has included more studies than IARC (9 vs 5 for rats and 5 vs 2 for mice).
Another major difference is that national and European agencies used unpublished studies
(including industry funded) in the risk assessment while the IARC has limited itself to the published public literature. In fact, in the CLP regulation, the manufacturer may be asked for certain experimental toxicity studies for the request for authorization of the chemical substance. The European assessment is also based on experimental studies required by EC Regulation 1107/2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market. [/ I]
