...allow the spread of such disinformation. Glyphosate (Round-Up) and Agent Orange (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid) are chemically un-related, and differ in their method of action.
For the record, you can still buy 2,4,5-T herbicides at any retail garden center today, under various brand names. Problems associated with Agent Orange are two-fold. Sloppy war-time production practices in the manufacture of 2,4,5-T resulted in the presence of high levels of a reaction by-product/contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, or TCDD for short. TCDD is a known carcinogen.
The second issue with Agent Orange was the indiscriminant and excessive use/exposure associated with Vietnam. You drown someone in enough of anything, there will be adverse effects. A lot of safety parameters get ignored in war-time.
Despite all the TV commercials you see from the "settlement lawyers", NO regulatory agency in the world has deemed glyphosate "unsafe". NO products have been pulled from the market, nor have any additional use-restrictions been imposed or even recommended.
Please get the science straight.
