According to their Preamble, what IARC does is collect studies on a particular substance and categorize them according to how likely it is they carcinogenic to any degree. So they essentially publish reviews of existing literature. They evaluate whether there's a hazard, but not how much risk there actually is. The article title should probably be "Monsanto Effort to Defund Cancer Research Reviewers". Glyphosate sits in the same category ('probably carcinogenic') as: >Emissions from frying stuff >Being a barber >Being a night shift worker >Red meat >Malaria >Glass manufactoruing >Burning wood biofuel And some other stuff and a bunch of chemicals whose usage I don't know. In the 'definitely carcinogenic' category are lots of things that you would expect, such as coal production and ionizing radiation, but there's also: >Being a painter >Mineral oils >Processed meat >"Salted fish, Chinese-style" Because I wasn't sure, this is the IARC's definition of processed meat: >Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve reservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood. There's also the third group of 'possibly carcinogenic', which includes beverages above 65C (149F), aloe vera, carpentry, asian pickled vegetables, and radio waves.
