Roundup in troubled waters

Introduction

Another report released this August confirms that Monsanto was involved in influencing and curbing the release of damaging scientific data regarding the safety and efficacy of Roundup, a weed killer suspected of causing cancer. As per the report, high-level Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) executives were influenced by Monsanto to conceal the records linking Roundup as a suspected causative agent of cancer.
