The World Health Organization’s cancer agency dismissed and edited findings from a draft of its review of the weedkiller glyphosate that suggested there was no link between the Roundup ingredient and cancer in laboratory animals, Reuters reported in a story picked up by Successful Farming. The WHO then ruled the chemical probably causes cancer in humans. That ruling has spawned a range of lawsuits and backlash among agricultural powers who have long argued that the chemical is not a carcinogen.
