I didn't say psychological - that would have been quite wrong, factually. Rats
don't have shrinks, you see.
What I said was _physiological_ - the compound did affect the rat metabolism. I
don't specifically recall at what concentration of compound these effects were
seen. Concentrations in that range might not even be realistiv when looking at
animal or human consumption of processed forms of maize.
Nor am I an expert - I just read the original publication and for the extent of
effects they claimed, I was less than impressed by the statistical validation.
But then, stats is not what I do for a living either.
Let's say the study will have to be independently verified and validated by
further research to be bullet-proof. But when would even bullet-proof scientific
fact have deterred a US corporate?
In any event - I was just trying to explain what the original poster could
likely have referred to when he wished for glyphosate to be banned.

Sorry, I meant that if a patented product allows the use of toxic substances
which would otherwise kill them (and us!), I'd rather they keep their precious
patent and lockitupandtrhowawaythekey, so nobody else can get at it, ever.
