unfortunately, monsanto - like many pharmaceutical companies has enough money to quite easily bribe alleged 'scientific' groups - so we need to be super cautious.
if you grow your own food in a polytunnel, for example, it is possible to get pretty clean food. i have done this for a couple of years. even if you don't do that - it is still wise to minimise the pollution of the planet in every way possible.
There are actually two kinds of opinions, and we don't know which one is true. But it is always safe than sorry!
here's a scientific study showing increased tumors due to roundup: https://enveurope.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s12302-014-0014-5
and a video:
That paper was published in 2014. and here is the latest news: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/mar/15/no-cancer-risk-to-using-glyphosate-weedkiller-says-eu-watchdog
As I said, i don't know whom to believe because I am not expert in this area, But i tend to play safe.

Thanks for the info! I spray 1L on my garden, so any idea of how long I need to wait before I want to grow some vegs on it?
good question! i have never seen any data for that - i'll let you know if i find the answer
