46:22Now PlayingIn this episode of “The Truth of the Matter,” host Hena Doba investigates a growing cluster of cancer cases in Keyport, New Jersey, now numbering nearly 400 diagnoses. The cases are all near a toxic landfill that residents have been warning the state about for decades. An independent examiner visited the area in June and found high levels of carcinogens in the soil. Still, New Jersey officials are adamant in saying there is no proven link.
