YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A landmark study on the safety of glyphosate, the active ingredient in the most popular herbicide in the world, Roundup, has been formally retracted by its publisher. The journal that published the study said that it appears it might have been secretly ghostwritten by employees of Monsanto, the company that introduced Roundup in 1974.

But that hasn't stopped the Trump administration from shielding the company from people who say the herbicide gave them cancer.
