Putting it into context many things can increase cancer risk. Eating BBQ food, or toast (colorectal or stomach cancers). Drinking hot liquids like tea or coffee (throat cancer). Enjoying a sunny day (skin cancer). Drinking alcohol at any amount (numerous cancers). Being grumpy or depressed (numerous cancers). Eating meat (colorectal cancer). Eating sugar (numerous cancers). The list is almost endless, really.
But as with all things, one must balance the risk. A life of moderation seems to be the best way to go. Nothing in excess. Plenty of exercise.
We are all gonna die, regardless. No matter what risks we mitigate.

I don't disagree at all, I was only pointing out what the article was addressing specifically. I use round up in my yard, I also use GrassBGone and other things, I work in my yard regularly and rarely use any sunscreen. Who even knows what does or doesn't cause cancer anymore; I just use whatever products I want within reason. If I wanted to use milorganite, I wouldn't hesitate. "They" will always find something wrong with anything, until it drives one crazy staying to stay in the know.
