The EPA will not approve warning labels for the weed killer Roundup, which contains glyphosate, The International Agency for Research on Cancer has said that Roundup is ”probably carcinogenic.”
California tired to put warning labels on Roundup, but that is now tied up in the courts. The EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler said, “We will not allow California’s flawed program to dictate federal policy.”
A number of successful cases have been brought by cancer patients against Roundup. There are an estimated 13,000 plaintiffs who have pending lawsuits against the weed killer.
Remember, you don’t have to use Roundup. You really don’t.
