Monsanto Being Sued Over Health Injuries That May Be Related To Roundup.

reports the European Chemicals Agency “gave a Monsanto a boost on Wednesday after determining that the main ingredient in the company’s flagship weed killer should not be classified as causing cancer.” The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer previously “classified the substance as a probable carcinogen two years ago.” The European Glyphosate Task Force’s chairman, Richard Garnett, said Wednesday, “The scientific evidence to support the renewal of glyphosate is overwhelming.” Discussion of the chemical substance is “unlikely to end the debate” as unsealed court records released in San Francisco on Tuesday suggest “that Monsanto had ghostwritten research attributed to academics and indicated that a senior E.P.A. official had worked to halt a review of glyphosate by the Department of Health and Human Services.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/15/business/key-element-of-monsanto-weed-killer-not-a-carcinogen-european-agency-says.html
