If inhaling or ingesting glyphosate doesn\u2019t give you cancer, then reading some of these documents might. It\u2019s disturbing, to say the least, how a seemingly business-like correspondence details a conscious and deliberate effort to fool the public.<\/p>\n<p>As more evidence compounded and was presented on the carcinogenic effect of their product, Monsanto suddenly took to more suspect behavior. Spokespeople from the company repeatedly denied claims that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/051450_glyphosate_cancer_risk_Monsanto.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">glyphosate induced cancer<\/a>\u00a0and to prove that it was not all mouth-service, they pointed to scores of independent,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/10408444.2016.1214677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">third-party reviews<\/a>\u00a0that concluded to no such effect. These studies were a rebuttal to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iarc.fr\/en\/media-centre\/iarcnews\/2016\/glyphosate_IARC2016.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 assessment by the\u00a0<em>International Agency for Research on Cancer<\/em>\u00a0(IARC)<\/a>\u00a0that suggested that glyphosate was a probable human carcinogen. This triggered a wave of lawsuits from individuals who claimed that they had contracted non-Hodgkin lymphoma from exposure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roundup.com\/smg\/gosite\/RUP\/home?locale=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monsanto\u2019s product, RoundUp.<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Monsanto\u2019s most recent review called \u201cAn Independent Review of the Carcinogenic Potential of Glyphosate.\u201d Supposedly, Monsanto paid Intertek Group Plc to \u201csupervise\u201d the article.
