That paper was published in 2014. and here is the latest news: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/mar/15/no-cancer-risk-to-using-glyphosate-weedkiller-says-eu-watchdog

As I said, i don't know whom to believe because I am not expert in this area, But i tend to play safe.

unfortunately, monsanto - like many pharmaceutical companies has enough money to quite easily bribe alleged 'scientific' groups - so we need to be super cautious.

If you consider the residue in the plants, fruits, vegs.... there is nothing we can do about it.

if you grow your own food in a polytunnel, for example, it is possible to get pretty clean food. i have done this for a couple of years. even if you don't do that - it is still wise to minimise the pollution of the planet in every way possible.
