Study Finds No Cancer Link To Herbicide Ingredient.

reports that a large, long-term study found there was “no association between glyphosate,” a primary ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide RoundUp, “and any solid tumors or lymphoid malignancies overall, including non-Hogkin Lymphoma (NHL) and its subtypes.” The study was published Thursday in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI). Its findings are “likely to impact legal proceedings” in the US and a “crucial decision due in Europe this week on whether glyphosate should be re-licensed for sale across the European Union.” The research is part of the Agricultural Health Study, “which has been tracking the health of tens of thousands of agricultural workers, farmers and their families in Iowa and North Carolina.” https://www.reuters.com/article/health-cancer-glyphosate/u-s-farm-study-finds-no-firm-cancer-link-to-monsanto-weedkiller-idUSL8N1NF37Z
