It’s a question that, just a few years ago, would be considered
absurd. But as we have seen revolutionary developments in the search for
truth regarding Monsanto’s gloyphosate-based Roundup herbicide over
these past few months, we can now truly ask the question: will Monsanto’s best selling chemical stew finally be banned by the United States and around the world?
And thanks to a number of major studies, news campaigns, and
announcements by leading scientists, the answer may very well be ‘yes.’
It was an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO) that ultimately
drove the reality of Roundup’s deadly nature to the mainstream spotlight
following the recent declaration
by the scientific group that Roundup was indeed likely to be causing
cancer. More specifically, the France-based WHO cancer research division
known as the IARC launched a sweeping blow to Monsanto in their latest
research findings.
We’ll get to those findings in a moment, but first we must consider
the most amazing part of the work: the IARC wasn’t even intending to
‘demonize’ Monsanto’s Roundup. They were independently investigating
five different herbicide and insecticides, with gloyphosate-based
Roundup in the mix.
As reported by The Lancet:
“In March, 2015, 17 experts from 11 countries met at
the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC; Lyon, France) to
assess the carcinogenicity of the organophosphate pesticides
tetrachlorvinphos, parathion, malathion, diazinon, and glyphosate
(table). These assessments will be published as volume 112 of the IARC
Monographs.”
