Three farmers from Nebraska along with an agronomist, all diagnosed with cancer, have filed a lawsuit against Monsanto. The farmers allege that Monsanto mislead the public about the dangers of the world’s most widely used herbicide ingredient, glyphosate. The Lincoln Journal Star reports the lawsuit alleges Monsanto “concealed or systematically sought to discredit” research showing a link between the chemical and cancer. In March of last year, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer labeled glyphosate as a probable cause of cancer in humans and said it is most associated with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the same cancer the Nebraska farmers were diagnosed with. However, many further reports from the Unites States and the European Union discredit the IARC findings and say glyphosate is not likely to cause cancer in humans. Similar lawsuits have also been brought against Monsanto by agricultural workers in other states, including California and Delaware.
