Monsanto attempts to discredit new study that proves YET AGAIN that glyphosate is dangerous even at low levels
An international team of experts has concluded, based on the results of a comprehensive new animal study, that glyphosate, the primary active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, is highly toxic to humans – even at the very low doses that both Monsanto and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claim are completely “safe.” Monsanto is trying to discredit […]

Flawed testing and compromised regulatory agencies have conspired to keep harmful pesticides on the market
Even in 2018, as we have more access to information than ever before, some people seem willing to give pesticides the benefit of the doubt. They can’t be that bad, they reason, or they never would have gotten approval. Surely there are tests that show they’re not as dangerous as people think, right? The answer […]

Monsanto “scientists” have been releasing dubious studies since the 1970s and the EPA has let much of it slide — why are we only learning about this now?
When you hear about the dangers of pesticides, it might be tempting to think that it’s a new discovery made possible by increasingly sophisticated technology. Now that we know they’re bad, their use will be banned, and humanity will be spared, right? That’s what you’d like to think, but the truth is that the very […]

EPA official whitewashed glyphosate links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in order to protect Monsanto profits
The EPA has been caught red-handed whitewashing studies of Monsanto’s cash cow, glyphosate. The federal agency purposely ignored data showing a clear connection between glyphosate and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In addition to ignoring the obvious threat of glyphosate, agency regulators obscured the opinions of the Scientific Advisory Panel, charged with reviewing the EPA’s glyphosate evaluation. The […]

SELLOUTS: The EPA’s pesticide approval office is funded by pesticide manufacturers and relies on their submitted data as “science”
The Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Pesticide Programs is supposed to be responsible for producing independent analyses of pesticides. But is that what they really do? Like other federal agencies (à la the FDA), the Office of Pesticides does no actual studies or research of their own; instead, they review data provided to them by pesticide manufacturers. […]

EPA in bed with Monsanto / Bayer, burying studies that show glyphosate causes cancer
With so much scientific evidence supporting the fact that glyphosate causes cancer, how can anyone still believe that weed killers that contain it, like Monsanto’s Roundup – now part of Bayer – are somehow safe? The answer is simple: The company has the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in its pocket, and they’re all too willing […]

A deadly pattern of collusion and deceit: Both industry and regulators are aware of the dangers of pesticides
When corporate interests and government agencies collide, you get a veritable Pandora’s box of corruption, collusion and deceit. And when those corporate interests include toxic pesticides, you get the Poison Papers.

Pesticide safety: Flawed risk assessment tests were driven by too much industry influence
“If pesticides are so dangerous, why are they allowed to be sold and used?” If you’ve ever tried to convince someone how important it is to buy organic produce, you might have heard this line. Answering honestly can get you labeled a conspiracy theorist pretty quickly, but according to one NGO, nine out of ten […]

EPA, Monsanto face lawsuit over pesticide drift that damaged millions of acres and threatened endangered species
If a farmer wants to grow organic crops, he or she can simply elect not to use pesticides and everything should be fine, right? Unfortunately, the situation is not as straightforward as it seems as pesticide drift is thwarting well-meaning farmers’ efforts and rendering their crops entirely unusable. It’s also destroying traditional crops that were […]
