In June, a California groundskeeper will make history by taking company to trial on claims it suppressed harm of Roundup
At the age of 46, DeWayne Johnson is not ready to die. But with cancer spread through most of his body, doctors say he probably has just months to live. Now Johnson, a husband and father of three in ( California), hopes to survive long enough to make Monsanto take the blame for his fate.
On 18 June, Johnson will become the first person to take ( the global seed and chemical company) to trial on allegations that it has spent decades hiding the cancer-causing dangers of its popular Roundup herbicide products – and his case has just received a major boost.
Last week Judge Curtis Karnow (issued an order) clearing the way for jurors to consider not just scientific evidence related to what caused Johnson’s cancer, but allegations that Monsanto suppressed evidence of the risks of its weed killing products. Karnow ruled that the trial will proceed and a jury would be allowed to consider possible punitive damages.

How much exposure did he have? A couple years and it killed him?
Can you tell me why you think not? It certainly does work.
If I measure in the smallest of quantities, I can find just about every toxic chemical imaginable in your body. You consume highly toxic chemicals every day in the air you breathe, the food you eat and the water you drink. Just because something exists in a few parts per billion, or parts per trillion, doesn't mean it's bad. Actually, it doesn't mean anything at all.
Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison.
The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.

If your a plant!
For crying out loud....it's an herbicide!
Boiling water, or a propane torch.
BMI? WTF does THAT have to do w/ medicine?
It should be placed along w/ the ‘science’ behind DEET and this post (Round-Up).
Just another farce glommed on by the masses because it was pushed by some egg-head(s). When your method determines that NBA players are ‘obese’, it’s time to pick another ‘scale’.
Hey, not just you.
Your family too, if they live or grew up on the farm during your use of round up.
Nothing with medicine.
Everything with health.
That's a lot of words to normalize polluting the food and water supply...
Without roundup ready seed you can't afford to plant.
Glyphosate does not bioaccumulate so it won't magnify through the food chain.Studies in animals show that there is minimal retention of glyphosate in tissues, and that those quantities are not harmful. If glyphosate exposure occurs in humans, the body is quite capable of rapidly eliminating it.
As I said before, you eat, drink and breathe much more dangerous chemcials than those found in glyphosate every day. Yet we live longer and healthier lives today than ever before. Fear of glyphosate is intentional. There is nothing in the chemistry of this product that should cause a rational person to fear it.
NOW!
I'M AN OLD MAN! GO FIND SOMEBODY ELSE TO CALL LIAR!
I don't have time for anymore of your crap
A really dumb chemical salesman did the same thing with Pyranol (PCB) transformer oil. Was a really really stupid thing to do.
Unless there are some secret corp study documents, or field trials proving glyphosate mixture is toxic, I don’t see any connection to his cancer.
He might have done vehicle brake work (asbestos) in the military, a gas station, been exposed to other chemical combos... who knows? Over 23yrs, I had 604 people working for me - mostly seasonal lscp/garden construction crews - and none have developed cancer, that I’ve heard of.
I know Round-Up was reformulated back in the early 80s, but I don’t remember what the specifics were. We used Round-Up in tractor tank sprayers, backpack sprayers and out-of-the-bottle squirters, and with changing winds, there was always some blowback, but with protective clothing and eye protection, any effect was minimal.
If he didn’t take basic precautions, as with all chemicals, the case goes nowhere. There’s a pamphlet accompanying the off-the-shelf 1-2-3gal sprayers for homeowners, and for those of us who bought and remixed 50gal drums of highly-concentrated liquid, safety precautions are clearly laid-out.
Once again, IF there are incriminating documents and studies on RoundUp, they’ve either been scrubbed, deleted, isolated and Hitlery wiped them clean with her magic cloth.
I feel bad for the guy and his family, but without adequate evidence, it’s an empty revolver.
Interesting how all hospitals, med ctrs etc have declared their grounds to be “Tobacco Free Campus”. I remember way back when hospitals actually had waiting rooms/smoking lounges at the end of floor hallways. LOL.
They bought the politicians that let them write the seed laws legalizing monopoly. They should be able to profit from their invention, they should not be able to patent a life form.
But we have lots of laws like that.
I am in the seed production business.
Why is it the people who understand the least about chemistry and human biology are always the first to make idiotic claims like the one above?
Some globalist organization, or media idiocy group, declares glyphosate a probable carcinogen and chemical warriors everywhere wet their pants. You eat cancer causing chemicals in food every single day. There are trace amounts of benzene in the air you breathe, the water you drink and in the roasted meats you eat. And benzene is a hell of a lot more toxic than glyphosate. Do you eat potatoes? If so, you probably don't realize you're eating solanine and arsenic. Don't ever eat any lettuce, carrots or grapes because they contain caffeic acid. Avoid nuts (aflatoxin), bread (acetaldehyde, acrylamide), mushrooms (hydrazine), orange juice (limonene) and so on. These are all chemicals that are known to cause cancer.
And don't get me started on the dangerous chemicals found naturally in your water. By your standards, such as they are, your food and water supplies have been, and always will be, polluted. How do you manage to sleep at night?
[[He might have done vehicle brake work (asbestos) in the military, a gas station, been exposed to other chemical combos... who knows?]]
Yup- thaT’s the point- it’s nearly impossible to declare what actually gave him cancer UNLESS most peopel that use a certain product get cancer of a certain type- then one can be ‘reasonably certain’ but not entirely- ass you state- the cancer could be from soemthign different- air pollutants, cleanign chemicals, some food ingredient, etc etc etc
[[I remember way back when hospitals actually had waiting rooms/smoking lounges at the end of floor hallways. LOL.]]
I smoked in my hospital room bathroom way back when- used to walk through hte malls chain smoking- restaurants, stores etc-
[[I feel bad for the guy and his family, but without adequate evidence, it’s an empty revolver.]]
I dunno- lawyers seem to win cases like this sometimes- playing on the emotions of the jury-
