Monsanto Demands Retraction for WHO’s Roundup/Cancer Connection
Heather Callaghan/Activist Post
A non-regulatory division of WHO called International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) just announced that glyphosate – the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide – is a probable human carcinogen. While that may seem like a tepid statement, it comes after a decision based on the view of 17 experts from 11 countries who recently met in Lyon, France, to assess the carcinogenicity of 5 organophosphate pesticides.
Even though Europe is set to re-approve glyphosate use next year, Monsanto company is “outraged” at the finding and its publicity.
It is using the technique “deny, deny, deny” and is demanding a retraction….
Monsanto’s aggressive response to the findings might be due to reports of stocks dropping by 1.9% on Monday following the IARC report.
Dr. Robb Fraley, Monsantos Chief Technology Officer, who expressed the flabbergast and outrage in a recent statement claims that it flies in the face of decades of “comprehensive safety reviews” and calls the announcement a cherry-picking of data with an agenda-driven bias. He rests all the weight on regulatory status but doesn’t mention that the regulatory agencies rest approval based on company statements
