Are There Differences Between Humans and Animals with Roundup Exposure?
Yes, there are noted differences between the hazardous human and animal exposures of Roundup, in that Roundup and the active ingredient glyphosate can cause cancers in living beings. We focus primarily on human encounters with Roundup, because these exposures can cause detrimental effects and cancers on the human body. But animals can be affected by Roundup as well, and although we prefer that no living being is injured by Roundup, we focus exclusively on humans for the purposes of lawsuits on these claims.
Why Is Roundup Used as a Herbicide If It Is Constantly Considered “Unsafe” to Use?
Roundup is used globally as a herbicide in many industrial and residential applications. It is considered unsafe when it is used in situations and places that can have contact with humans. Unfortunately, it is a very good herbicide, and it is still used with warnings to review the use of these harmful chemicals. That does not absolve the responsibility of the manufacturers of Roundup products, regarding the damage to humans and the cancers that Roundup can cause to humans through exposures to it.

Why Are Roundup Cancer Claims Controversial and Studies Going Both Ways?
Roundup and the glyphosates that are the active ingredient in the products are dangerous because of the potential adverse effects that they can cause to humans. Glyphosates are hazardous and cancerous chemicals. The glyphosates in Roundup herbicide have been known to cause cancers in humans. There are studies that state that Roundup has no potential for posing a health risk to humans, and that exposures are rare or even that it is not a health concern or risk.1 In general, it will not be hard to find a study here and there that refutes the detrimental effects of Roundup. But on the other hand, the overwhelming majority of research studies note that glyphosates and Roundup are harmful to humans and animals alike. We understand that there are controversial ideas regarding the hazardous nature of glyphosates on humans, but we can also say with confidence that there are many cases of people with cancers from glyphosates and exposure to Roundup.
