Patrick Moore says he leads a campaign in support of “golden rice,” a genetically modified grain that contains high amounts of vitamin A. In the interview, which Moore says he believed would focus on “golden rice,” he says the active ingredient in the herbicide, glyphosate, is not causing cancer rates in Argentina to increase.
“You can drink a whole quart of it and it won’t hurt you,” he said.
But when the reporter told him that they had prepared a glass and invited Moore to drink it, he refused, saying “I’m not stupid.”
“So, it’s dangerous?” the interviewer asked.
“It’s not dangerous to humans,” Moore replied.
He insisted that people “try to commit suicide” by drinking Roundup but “fail regularly.” Moore then walked out of the interview.
Last Friday, the World Health Organization’s cancer-research arm, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, classified the widely used herbicide as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
Correction: The original version of this story identified Moore as a paid lobbyist for Monsanto. In a statement published Friday, Monsanto said Moore “is not and never has been a paid lobbyist for Monsanto.”
Gotta love whoever offered the glass of Roundup!
In a preview
clip of an upcoming French documentary, scientist and Monsanto supporter Patrick Moore is seen telling a journalist that it’s completely safe for humans to drink large amounts of Roundup, a weed killer made by the company. When offered a glass, though, he declined, saying he was neither “stupid” nor an “idiot.”

In an interview with the French television station Canal Plus, an advocate for genetically modified foods said Roundup, a weedkiller that is manufactured by chemical giant Monsanto, is safe for human consumption but refused to drink the herbicide when offered a glass by an interviewer.

or have a possibility of having health issues !
Too, everyone here drinks a glass or two or three of water every day and include it in most foods to enhance flavor. Now if one drinks and eats nothing more but a few gallons of it in a day or two one could get pretty bloated and develop serous health issues. Would the journalist drink a glass of concentrated salt water or 5 gallons of pure water in a day ?
Last year, I was in a hospital to remove a large kidney stone. After the surgery, they wanted to add a large amount of fluids via IV. to produce urine to flush the kidneys, then another and another ... my urinary tract was so swollen from the surgery that I didn't produce much urine at all, so within a day and a half, I became so bloated and my skin became so tight that my skin started to crack between my toes . The IV was immediately removed and I received antibiotics. Then after a few hours, I started to fill the urine bottle then another and another almost non stop.
