Monsanto calls for investigation into WHO agency for ignoring scientific studies (funded by Monsanto)

‘Monsanto is calling for an investigation into a World Health Organization agency that found one of its largest weed killers was carcinogenic. The controversial agricultural giant argues that they ignored two major studies that found no link to cancer.
Monsanto is fighting an assessment from the World Health Organization (WHO) that classified glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s non-selective herbicide Roundup, as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
As a result, the state of California announced in June that Monsanto will be required to put a label on its products that warns customers if it contains cancer-causing chemicals.
So far, more than 900 people who have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in the US have sued Monsanto, seeking compensatory and punitive damages for wrongful death and personal injuries based on the WHO assessment, according to Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman, the law firm representing the plaintiffs in the case.
