We asked: <em>Are we being poisoned in the pursuit of profit?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As happened in past decades with the alcohol and tobacco industries, the glyphosate report added compelling evidence that profits have indeed taken a priority over consumer safety in our food production system &#8212; and as public health concerns mounted, Big Ag started circling its wagons and attacking the questioners rather than embracing open scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>But last month, the tables turned. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2018\/aug\/10\/monsanto-trial-cancer-dewayne-johnson-ruling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">landmark upset ruling<\/a>, Monsanto&#8217;s Roundup weedkiller was ruled to be carcinogenic, and the company&#8217;s attempt to hide this fact from consumers made it guilty of acting\u00a0\u201cwith malice or oppression\u201d. Monsanto&#8217;s new parent company Bayer was ordered to pay the plaintiff, a former school groundskeeper now dying of non-Hodgkin&#8217;s lymphoma, $289 million in damages.<\/p>\n<p><em>Will this court ruling restrict the use of glyphosate going forward? Or will it be de-fanged upon appeal? What else has been learned about the health impacts of glyphosate in our food since the 2016 report? What is the latest science telling us?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To address these important questions and more, we welcome Dave Murphy back on the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>rganicconsumers.org\/ Dave Murphy: Will Monsanto&#8217;s Loss Result In Less Poison In Our Food?
