Spraying Crops Way back in the year 2000, a study was done that produced a published paper that contended the active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, did not cause cancer.
Today, because of the discovery showing previously hidden or ignored emails that present undisclosed industry involvement, numerous oversight lapses and undisclosed connections with Monsanto who manufactures Roundup, that paper for the year 2,000 has been officially retracted! "Serious ethical concerns" has been cited as one of the reasons.
Apparently investigators found evidence that Monsanto employees participated in drafting the study's paper and perhaps payments were made to the authors. Thus, destroying all the paper's research and bringing the paper's integrity into question. There was no true transparency about who and how this paper came about.
Last year in 2025 we have different independent studies that were published linking glyphosate exposure to increased cancer risks. All this new information brings me back to my GTG blog called: Homemade Weed Killer on July 9, 2014. By just using some common sense, we have an effective alternative to store bought weed killers.
A herbicide's job is to kill and while it may not kill us immediately, it sure may cause damage that can lead to what we have seen over the decades. The evidence for herbicide's carcinogenic potential is very strong. Enough Said.
