YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

► The Committee on Science, Space & Technology holds hearing, “In Defense of Scientific Integrity: Examining the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monograph Program and Glyphosate Review.”

Scheduled to appear before the Committee:

• Dr. Anna Lowit, senior science adviser from the Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

• Dr. Timothy Pastoor, CEO of Pastoor Science Communications

• Dr. Jennifer Sass, senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council

• Dr. Robert Tarone, (retired) mathematical statistician, U.S. National Cancer Institute and Biostatistics Director and the International Epidemiology Institute.

In March of 2015, IARC published the results of an exhaustive analysis on glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer. The IARC working group concluded that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans” and that there was strong evidence of an association between glyphosate exposure and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Since the IARC Monograph on glyphosate, thousands of Roundup cancer lawsuits have been filed against Monsanto in the United States. In response, Monsanto has attacked IARC and other scientists that call into question the safety of glyphosate.

Read internal Monsanto documents showing the company’s strategy to “orchestrate outcry with IARC decision.”
