From waldenfarm@sprintmail.com Fri Jul 23 12:16:38 1999 Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 09:16:35 -0400 From: Alex McGregor To: "sanet-mg@shasta.ces.ncsu.edu" Subject: Glyphosates and NHL To all those who wanted more references to studies linking glyphosate exposure to non-Hodgkins lynphoma. This is from a recent Rachel's Weekly: One of the herbicides linked to NHL by the most recent Hardell study is glyphosate, sold by Monsanto under the trade name Roundup. A previous study of human subjects in 1998 had implicated Roundup in hairy cell leukemia (cancer of the blood-forming organs), a rare kind of NHL.[5] Several animal studies have shown that Roundup can cause gene mutations and chromosomal aberrations.[3] [5] M. Nordstrom and others, "Occupational exposures, animal exposure, and smoking as risk factors for hairy cell leukaemia evaluated in a case-control study," BRITISH JOURNAL OF CANCER Vol. 77 (1998), pgs. 2048-2052.

What's even more eye-opening is the studies listed which link atrazine to NHL Check it out at: http://www.rachel.org.
