>I found the following from the article interesting but no reference to the study itself:
>"A recent study showed that every human tested had the world's best selling herbicide , roundup, detectable in their urine at concentrations between five and twenty times the level considered safe for drinking water"
>Is the above true and if so what does it mean?
Not to be facetious, but, I would suggest that this means we should avoid drinking urine...
On a more serious note, it seems to me that this is another case of citing one-off studies in a manner that supports your case. I often find myself wondering (particularly in recent debates regarding pesticides, genetic engineering, etc.) whether we too often confuse strength of belief with strength of evidence.
