World Health Orgnisation cancer agency under fire for withholding ‘carcinogenic glyphosate’ documents
‘The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), facing criticism over its classification of carcinogens, has reportedly been advising its scientific experts not to publish internal research data on its 2015 report on “probably carcinogenic” glyphosate.
