Obie - Here is a little report on the agency that first reported that glyphosate may cause cancer :
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/spe...ncer-data/
And here is IARC's response: http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/iarcn...uation.pdf
In brief, the IARC does not review unpublished results. If you want to really get your tin foil hat in a knot, try to wrap your head around the Agricultural Health Study's choice to NOT publish their findings supporting the safety of glyphosate knowing that it would likely lead to a different outcome for the IARC evaluation. Those findings were published over two years later here:
https://academic.oup.com/jnci/advance-ar...33/4590280
I found this recent article to be a good read showing both the history and how the science is spun by both sides to further the ongoing litigation: https://civileats.com/2018/03/29/inside-...cer-risks/
(Judge) Chhabria said, “I have a difficult time understanding how an epidemiologist could conclude … that glyphosate is in fact causing non-Hodgkin lymphoma in human beings…. But I also question whether anyone could legitimately conclude that glyphosate is not causing non-Hodgkin lymphoma in human beings.”
(responding to rainyjim in the other thread - quote sounds familiar huh, but says something entirely different. Ain't spin amazing?
