(Before It's News)

Given the extent of published research pieces finding a positive relationship between glyphosate (the active ingredient in Monsanto’s best-selling herbicide RoundUp) and cancer, it isn’t very jaw-dropping anymore to hear of a new study coming to similar conclusions. Indeed, one new review and a series of meta-analyses of 30 years-worth of research has found that Monsanto’s RoundUp could be causing blood cancers in the lymph glands, specifically non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

The review focused on 30 years-worth of epidemiologic research on the connection between NHL and exposure to ingredients used in agricultural pesticides. The researchers examined the results from 44 papers, which found an association between NHL and 21 pesticide chemical groups and 80 active ingredients. The meta-analyses showed that phenoxy herbicides, carbamate insecticides, organophosphorus insecticides and the active ingredient lindane, an organochlorine insecticide, were positively associated with NHL.
