&lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.sciencedirect.com&amp;#x2F;science&amp;#x2F;article&amp;#x2F;pii&amp;#x2F;S1532045614001045&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.sciencedirect.com&amp;#x2F;science&amp;#x2F;article&amp;#x2F;pii&amp;#x2F;S1532045614...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the worst one of all: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;people.csail.mit.edu&amp;#x2F;seneff&amp;#x2F;2016&amp;#x2F;Glyphosate_V_glycine_analogue_2016.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;people.csail.mit.edu&amp;#x2F;seneff&amp;#x2F;2016&amp;#x2F;Glyphosate_V_glycin...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;So yeah, not only does it cause cancer, it causes a wide range of diseases: literally any one that can be caused by protein misassembly in ways that the body can&amp;#x27;t easily clear the protein (or if it does, the glyphosate can end up being reused instead of flushed out of your body) can be linked to this.&lt;p&gt;So, in around 5 years, if they come out with a study that Autism is caused by, or greatly enhanced by, glyphosate exposure in utero 
or during nursing (glyphosate concentrations are extremely high in breast milk in mothers exposed to the chemical), I will not be surprised whatsoever.</text></comment>

If you&amp;#x27;re discussing anything remotely controversial, pick up the phone or walk to the person&amp;#x27;s office.  &lt;i&gt;Don&amp;#x27;t put it in an email&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why?  Because lawyers will find it and twist it however they want to make you look bad.  Had a colleague annoy the hell out of you asking for something that didn&amp;#x27;t need to be done?  Don&amp;#x27;t put &amp;quot;I deserve a medal for killing this study&amp;quot; in an email.</text></comment>
