WEED KILLER MAY CAUSE CANCER
In early 2015, The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer ("IARC") warned that the active ingredient in many weed killers, glyphosate, was a "probable carcinogen." As a result of Monsanto’s failure to appropriately warn about the potential risk of cancer, financial compensation may be available through a Roundup lawsuit for individuals diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL). |
WEED KILLERS CAN MAKE YOU VERY SICK

Roundup®’s active ingredient ‘probably’ carcinogenic
Officials at the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an agency of the World Health Organization, determined glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup®, ‘probably’ causes cancer in people. The scientific article, published in The Lancet Oncology, is based on the same 1985 and 1991 studies by the Environmental Protection Agency, which first declared RoundupÆ might cause cancer, then reversed that decision.
Aaron Blair, a retired epidemiologist from the National Cancer Institute and one of the study's researchers told the New York Times, “All three lines of evidence sort of said the same thing, which is we ought to be concerned about this.” Monsanto, the maker of Roundup, accuses “the agency of having an ‘agenda’ and ‘cherry picking’ the data to support its case.”
Researchers in a separate study published in the online journal MBio looked at the effect of glyphosate, dicamba and 2,4-D to antibiotic resistance, reports Sustainable Food Trusts. The results showed “even low levels of the herbicides had the effect of inducing antibiotic resistance before the antibiotics had time to kill the bacteria; in a few antibiotic/herbicide combinations they actually made the bacteria more susceptible to the antibiotic, while in other cases they had no impact.”
“Residues of these herbicides typically found in food were not sufficient to induce resistance, but the researchers have identified a number of situations in homes and on farms where more direct exposure to the herbicides could result in antibiotic resistance in children and pets or farm animals and pollinating insects, such as honeybees, which can need treating with antibiotics to cure bacterial infections.”
