Monsanto made Agent Orange, and their new partner Bayer made Zyklon B for the Nazis.
ReplyLet me know when the process has run it’s course. I expect a number of years will have gone by and the poor man will be gone.
ReplyToo bad the jury ignored the science which continues to show Roundup is no more of a carcinogen than coffee. (But in Cali, coffee is labeled a potential carcinogen so a great place to sue.)
ReplyThere was no evidence that said Roundup caused anything. Go read the case yourself before posting this bias rubbish online !!
ReplyCris Ward I was naturally very concerned when I heard about this because our family have been using the stuff for a whole generation but after doing a lot of digging and researching online I find out its ALL just scare mongering BS and a making decisions based on emotion and not facts.
Monsanto lost the patent to Glysophate 18 years ago so anyone can and do produce it and add “other ingredients” to the mix so point the finger at Monsanto is simply because they are worth billions and the Lawyers can smell MONEY a mile away !!
Craig Mcclure Use it every week mate, probably drunk a few glasses by now. Although I am older and wiser now and wear a mask BUT at the end of the day, we eat, drink and breath crap day in and day out….. when its your time, its your time !
ReplyNo it is not just this groundsman who got cancer, there are 8,700 people waiting to go to trial over their cancer being caused by Roundup.
ReplyPaul Humphreys Explain your logic to all those crippled Vietnamese who were sprayed by Monsantos magic drink.
ReplyFredBarb Russ is another one of the clueless that doesn’t realize agent orange and roundup are two totally different chemicals they’re not even in the same family of organics.
ReplyClare Nesdale please show the actual scientific research that shows the link between roundup and cancer. You can’t . WHO, the UN, and the EU in 2017 which Ecosnippets keeps on forgetting to put in their articles did the largest known 30 year research on roundup and found no link. These 8700 individuals could easily have gotten it from working in the sun. An actual known cause of cancer.
ReplyDaniel Sudek would be because like Google and Amazon and so many other billion dollar companies….. the US tax system sux !
ReplyDaniel Sudek same guy that doesn’t have the brains enough to do real research. By the way Flourine in water comes from phosphorite rock a natural occurring material.
ReplyJohn Baker Why are you trolling here? You haven’t read other articles on this case or on Monsanto. Do you have no one to dominate at home so you what to dominate here? Roundup kills our beneficial gut bacteria and this in itself has been linked to chronic illness. Monsanto have done their best to suppress any research that shows that Roundup causes cancer in lab rats. Monsanto says the studies showing it causes cancer are done over to long a period and has had these studies suppressed.
ReplyClare Nesdale John Baker and Paul Humphreys are two Mosanto trolls that know all, so its hard to say who is trying to dominate whom out of the two of them.
ReplyPaul Humphreys agree 100% Ecosnippets has the worst journalists around. The couldn’t find a fact if it bit them in the butt.
ReplyIndependent research since 1985 has found that Roundup, glyphosate causes cancer in rats. Monsanto suppressed this research. The research that says it does not cause cancer was paid for by Monsanto and they restricted the period of the research so the tumours in lab rats didn’t have time to develop. Since 2015 the WHO said that glyphosate is a probable carcinogenic. There has been no long term research on the exposure of glyphosate on humans. “There is consensus, among non-industry scientists, that there is no safe level of exposure to glyphosate. That is, no level established that comes with no possible harm,” said Paul Mills, a public health professor at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) who has studied the prevalence of glyphosate exposure in humans.
The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded in 2015 that glyphosate was a probable cause of cancer in humans.
California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has concluded it’s known to cause cancer.” https://www.healthline.com/health-news/can-weed-killer-give-you-cancer#2
ReplyWhat a crock of shit…….Smoking causes cancer, burning plastic causes cancer, taking a dump at ground zero causes cancer……. what I am getting at is there is thousands of things that can give us cancer and YET it is still goes on around us every day. Its not about WHAT the product can cause but about the safety precautions recommended when handling the product.
ReplyPaul Humphreys please go back under your bridge ? the problem with Monsanto, they said safe for humans on the container, they should have had a warning on the container – there was no warning. The groundsman who sued wrote to Monsanto after he was diagnosed with cancer and asked if it was alright for him to keep using Roundup, they didn’t write back. They gave him no reply so he kept using it. In Europe after some of the research saying it wasn’t safe, when countries decided the label on Roundup should not say it is safe for humans, Monsanto fought them tooth and nail and didn’t want to change the label.
ReplyRoundup was never safe for humans. It kills our beneficial gut bacteria for starters and our beneficial gut bacteria is important to our health and well being.
ReplyPaul Humphreys I propose to you to use Roundup on a large quantity for a year in a field or something without protection. Will be a nice experience from you to demonstrate personnaly that it does not harm people.
ReplySince the verdict of this trial 8,700 other cases are now waiting to go to trial. “Bayer AG isn’t counting on another trial over its Roundup herbicide until February, but an elderly couple who say exposure to the weed killer gave them cancer has other ideas.
Among some 8,700 people who blame their cancer on Bayer’s recently acquired Monsanto unit, the couple is asking to go to the front of the line to present their case to a jury in December “before they die.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-14/bayer-may-face-next-roundup-cancer-trial-sooner-than-planned
Replythey can all smell money !! and like most of these, they will be dismissed on appeal !
ReplyPaul, do you have shares in Bayer? They fell about 10% after the court case https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45167906
ReplyClare Nesdale just because a jury says so doesn’t mean its fact. Americans are so emotional and antiscience. There are over 50 researches that have been done last one in 2017 by the WHO, UN, and EU that prove there is no link.
ReplyWorld Health Organization’s cancer arm in 2015 classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”
ReplyRussell Kehoe in 2017 after their last research program with the UN and EU proved no link at all. Time to get up to speed.
ReplyIn 2015 the sun was classified as a known carcinogen better hide in a hole somewhere.
ReplyScientists have increasingly been able to link lawn chemicals, particularly 2,4-D, to canine cancer. … Even at low concentrations, Roundup and glyphosate are linked to myriad health problems, including everything from kidney disease to birth defects to cancer.May 29, 2018
ReplyRussell Kehoe: Go back to college and learn the difference between in vivo ( whole organism) experiments and the conclusions you may draw and the in vitro (petri dish) experiments and the restricted conclusions permitted by science. Civil courts allow unreliable testimony from fake scientists and the petri dish data and make conclusions which cannot be supported by real science. $289M does not sanctify the allegation , it only lines pockets of lawyers. You cannot assign culpability for cancer to any one chemical the unfortunate patient may have been exposed to in a long life.
ReplyThey could pay 100 billion and it would pale in comparison to the trillion they made poisoning humans, animals, insects, our air, watershed and the planet, not to mention the bribed, criminal politicians and doctors involved. These are criminal offenses and should be treated as such or it will keep happening because so far, from a business standpoint, it is still grotesquely profitable, to poison people And within the law because half of the government are criminals. F’ing disgusting
