STEVE MILLOY: Roundup The Junk Science To Save Glyphosate
Steve Milloy argues that Roundup, a widely used herbicide containing glyphosate, is essential to modern agriculture and should not be subject to liability based on flawed science. He contends that the International Agency for Research on Cancer's (IARC) classification of glyphosate as 'probably carcinogenic' was based on a biased and manipulated process. Milloy asserts that federal regulation of pesticides should preempt state-level lawsuits, especially when the scientific foundation for those claims is questionable.
- ▪Roundup, containing glyphosate, has been used since the 1970s and is the most widely used herbicide globally.
- ▪The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as 'probably carcinogenic' in 2015, a finding not shared by any other regulatory body.
- ▪Investigations revealed that the IARC review process excluded evidence favorable to glyphosate and involved consultants with ties to trial lawyers suing Monsanto.
- ▪Trial lawyers secured large jury verdicts against Monsanto and later Bayer based on the IARC ruling.
- ▪The EPA has consistently approved glyphosate for use across seven presidential administrations, both Republican and Democratic.
