Lawsuits mounting against Monsanto over alleged cancer-causing ingredients in Roundup

EDWARDSVILLE – Several law firms in Illinois are mounting a case against a multinational agrochemical manufacturer, claiming one of the ingredients in its herbicide product causes cancer.

In what could become a class-action suit against Monsanto Co., several law firms are banding together to find clients who allegedly have been affected by the company’s Roundup product, which they claim has caused cancer in several consumers.

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, was declared by the World Health Organization earlier this year as a probable carcinogen to humans. Following the organization’s announcement, several lawsuits have popped up declaring that Monsanto’s Roundup was the reason for the plaintiffs’ cancer.

Monsanto maintains that glyphosate is safe and said the World Health Organization is wrong in its findings.

In fact, it's doubleplusunf*ckinggood.

All the same, you can expect the GMO-Chemical-Pharaceutical SYMPS to be along any moment in this thread to try and convince us that we should REJOICE because this crap is in our beer, our wine, our food, and our tampons.
