Did RoundUp Cause My Cancer?
When trying to determine what caused your cancer, it can be difficult. RoundUp causes cancer. But, RoundUp is associated with specific types of cancer. RoundUp causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The varieties of cancer commonly linked to glyphosate are listed above. However, the list above doesn’t cover all possibilities.
Determine If RoundUp May Have Caused Your Cancer
Have you used RoundUp on a regular basis? Typically, those exposed a couple weeks a month for 2+ years are at greatest risk. If you used RoundUp as a landscaper or grounds maintenance capacity it’s possible. Or, if you used large amounts of RoundUp each day for a month your risk is also high. Farmers who use large amounts of RoundUp are also at risk.
Do you have non-Hodgkin lymphoma? To qualify for a lawsuit, you must have cancer and be able to link it to RoundUp use. Just having used RoundUp is not enough.
RoundUp Contains Glyphosate
Glyphosate is a chemical and carcinogen. The World Health Organization stated their findings in 2015. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (a division of WHO) published a warning that RoundUp was dangerous. California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment also found glyphosate causes cancer.
Court Cases Against RoundUp
In 2018, a case against RoundUp’s parent company, Monsanto, was successful. The case established a connection between RoundUp and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In Dewayne Johnson vs. Monsanto, a jury ordered RoundUp to pay $289 million in damages to Mr. Johnson. Meanwhile, Monsanto is appealing the decision.
RoundUp Denies Product Causes Cancer
Scientists working for Monsanto knew of the cancer risk from using RoundUp. As far back as the
Of course, Monsanto denies their product is causing cancer. But, Monsanto has a long history of producing dangerous chemicals and denying health hazards. In the 1930s Monsanto knew it’s PCBs were dangerous but continued to sell them all over the world until 1977. PCBs were banned in the US in 1978.
I don’t trust Monsanto to do the right thing. Additionally, history shows the company does not do the right thing. This company puts profits ahead of health and safety. Monsanto and RoundUp knowingly put people’s health at risk. Now, we want to hold them accountable for hurting people.
