That's 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, not glyphosate. Entirely different compounds. Did you watch the video? It even shows that the cancer risks in mice occurred when they were exposed to much higher levels of roundup than the guidelines recommend.

Glyphosate can be dangerous when misused, and Monsanto sucks as a company for downplaying and suppressing these risks. But as far as I am aware, there's no study showing an increased cancer risk when used at the recommended dosage. Feel free to cite a study stating otherwise though!
