Not surprisingly, Monsanto vehemently denies this allegation.  Their website states unabashedly, “No, glyphosate is not a carcinogen.” The company’s rebuttal continues: The 2A classification does not establish a link between glyphosate and an increase in cancer. ‘Probable’...

Although it is less than Monsanto had...
