Comment on In glyphosate review, WHO agency edited out “non-carcinogenic” findings (2017)parent

PSA: IARC haven’t found a single thing thats is definitely not carcinogenic and lists shit like radio waves or tumble driers as possibly carcinogenic.

IARC are bunch of lunatics.

Caprolactam used to be the the only chemical IARC had ever classified in their group 4 "probably not carcinogenic to humans" [1] but in 2019 they moved it to group 3 [2].

It's a different kind of regulatory capture. Same thing has happened to the EPA.
