Big thing here is human nature. One side is willing to believe what they want because it makes them money, so they believe a for profit company and use a product. The other side doesn't trust that company yet is jealous of those who are making more money. In both cases it's human nature, jealousy and greed.
Also studies can be skewed by factors outside of the nature of the study. Keep in mind that almost all studies are conducted at colleges. Many companies donate large sums of money to said colleges. In fact many companies directly pay colleges to perform studies trying to prove a product is safe. They control studies by cutting off donations or funding for said studies.
Another factor that effects studies is personal agenda. Environmental studies tend to follow that path.
In the case of Roundup and GMO's I think time will be the deciding factor. When the CDC can actually come out and say farmers who use Roundup have the same risk of cancer as everyone else (remember that exposure risks may not show up for decades) or that there is a different in rates with those who use it.
What I do know, judging by my local area, is that it seems (I'm not actually tracking numbers) that most farmers and farm families are having issues with cancer in my area that non farm families. From Roundup? Don't know? From other chemicals they have been exposed to? Don't know?
What I do know is that the argument about this will continue until there is proof positive that both sides accept.
