Despite mounting evidence that the world’s most widely used weedkiller is linked to a host of chronic illnesses, including cancer, Monsanto has no intention of suspending its use. In a March interview with Here & Now’s Robin Young and Jeremy Hobson, Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant maintains the safety of Roundup, despite the World Health Organization’s declaration that the weedkiller is “probably carcinogenic.”
“Roundup is not a carcinogen. It’s 40 years old, it’s been studied; virtually every year of its life it’s been under a review somewhere in the world by regulatory authorities,” Grant told Hobson.
“So Canada and Europe just finished. Europe finished their review last year and came back with glowing colors. The Canadians were the same and now we are going through a similar process in the U.S., so I’ve absolutely no concerns about the safety of the product.”
An ineffective approval process
But as most of us have come to learn, just because something was approved for market use, doesn’t make it safe. In fact, countless chemical products have been discontinued only after they wreaked havoc on people’s health; the very same chemical-laden products that were approved or reviewed by “regulatory authorities.”
