Oops. I wrote without reading to make sure I had it right. Clopyralid has=
 not shown cancer causing properties in lab animals. It has shown reproduc=
tive, liver, stomach, respiratory, eye and a host of other problems. Eye p=
roblems are especially noted.

Follow the link below and read the section from Acute Toxicity down. It li=
st the problems found in lab animals (and logically humans are animals) wit=
h Clopyralid. One paragraph states that they have not found a cancer link.=
  I'll have to keep researching to see where I got that idea or if I confus=
ed cancer and reproduction or if it is the product of my fertile mind.
