On Oct. 12, 2017, European Parliament held a public hearing discussing the Monsanto Papers and glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer.
Glyphosate is the most widely-used agricultural chemical in the world. However, concerns have been raised over the chemical’s link to cancer.
In this hearing held by the Environment (ENVI) and Agriculture (AGRI) Committees in the EU Parliament, legislators, public health advocates, scientists and others convened to provide expert analysis on glyphosate, with particular attention paid to the stunning revelations from the Monsanto Papers, which can be viewed in their entirety here
The video above includes a presentation by Dr. Kate Guyton of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization. Dr. Guyton provides background on IARC’s mandate and how the agency’s Monographs are put together using published science in the public domain.
Dr. Guyton presents findings in IARC’s Monograph on glyphosate, which was released in 2015. IARC concluded that glyphosate is a Group 2A chemical, which means it is a probable human carcinogen.
“To summarize our hazard evaluation, there was limited evidence of cancer in humans, there was sufficient evidence of cancer in animals, and there was strong evidence for mechanisms that we know to be associated with carcinogens. Overall this led the working group to classify glyphosate in Group 2A – probably carcinogenic to humans.”
