I base my opinion on three court cases in the USA where evidence was borught to court that Monsanto knew many years ago about the cancer causing risks. on what do you base "this is simply a lie" ?
- pfdietz 7y agoCourt cases are not good ways to determine science. In a particularly egregious case in the 1980s, for example, a jury returned a verdict for a defendant in which it was claimed that a head injury in a car accident led to lung cancer. Scientifically, there is no good evidence that Roundup causes cancer. https://www.snopes.com/news/2018/08/17/cancer-juries-scientific-certainty-monsanto-roundup-ruling-explained/ https://www.snopes.com/news/2018/08/17/cancer-juries-scienti...
- aldoushuxley001 7y agoPlease don’t cite snopes, it’s the worst possible citation you can give. Here’s a better citation: IARC (the World Health Organization’s cancer research division) conducted a review with 20 international experts of all the publicly available research on glyphosate and found that it does indeed likely cause cancer: https://www.iarc.fr/featured-news/media-centre-iarc-news-glyphosate/ https://www.iarc.fr/featured-news/media-centre-iarc-news-gly...
- lonelappde 7y agoWhether roundup is safe or not is not clear to me, but the decision of 12 unwilling laymen with no access to independent research tools is certainly not credible.
- mhkool 7y agoI did not say anything about the capability of the jury but was talking about the evidence that was brought to court.
- dekhn 7y agocourt cases like that don't mean anything, they're super biased by what lawyers make up as a narrative.
