Could Roundup® (Glyphosate) Be The Cause of Your Cancer?

Those With Occupational Exposure To Roundup® Most At Risk of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Cancer

Individuals most at risk of the linked cancers are workers who had regular exposure to the Roundup® (glyphosate) chemical.

Common occupations where Roundup® exposure may be linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (and other cancer subtypes) include...

• Farm & agriculture workers
• Garden nursery workers
• Golf course maintenance workers
• Landscapers
• Local and state government maintenance workers
• Parks & forestry employees
• Sports field & turf management workers
• Arboriculture & viticulture workers
• Horticulture experts
• Lawn care & lawn maintenance workers
• Professional gardeners

Because Roundup® is the #1 most used herbicide in the US and is also used as a crop desiccant to increase harvest yields, those that work in agriculture (ie. farming), horticulture, arboriculture and even viticulture are very much at risk.

Local and state government maintenance workers are also routinely exposed to high-levels of Roundup® (glyphosate) when spraying along roads and sidewalks.

Golf course maintenance workers and those working in sports field groundskeeping and turf management are also frequently and heavily exposed to Roundup® (glyphosate) and at risk.

One of the most at-risk occupational exposures are garden and plant nursery employees, because Roundup® (glyphosate) is the most used chemical for postemergent control of vegetation.

Were you exposed to Roundup® (glyphosate) while at work?

International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and World Health Organization Research Concludes Roundup® (aka. Glyphosate) “Probably Carcinogenic to Humans”...

In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an agency of the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted a comprehensive study on glyphosate (the main ingredient in Roundup®) and it's cancer risk profile in humans.

The IARC took into account years of peer-reviewed published studies, publicly available government data, their own scientific studies of occupational use of Roundup® and cancer.

The study's final conclusion was that glyphosate needed to be labeled a Group 2A chemical, meaning Roundup® is “probably carcinogenic to humans”.

Additional research on glyphosate's effects on animals, and in animal and human cells in utero, concluded that glyphosate causes chromosomal and DNA damage in both animal and human cells.

The World Health Organization made it clear -- there is a link.

Respected Journal of Toxicology Study Concludes Roundup® (aka. Glyphosate) is Toxic & Endocrine Disrupting To Human Cells...

Yet another highly-respected scientific journal “Toxicology”, has concluded that glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup are toxic and even cause endocrine disruption in human cells.

Further, this study showed the even at the low levels currently legal on our food, Roundup and other glyphosate-based weed killers could cause irreparable DNA damage and death to cells.

The toxic effects of Roundup on human cells is confirmed by another study.

State of California Declares Glyphosate (active ingredient in Roundup®) To Be A Known Carcinogen...

In March 2017, the state of California decided to label the weed-killer glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) as a “known carcinogen”.

California's actions will require Roundup products containing glyphosate to carry a cancer warning.

This decision was made shortly after the World Health Organization's (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded glyphosate as a “probable human carcinogen” based on their research.

Cancer Victims Are Filing Lawsuits Against Monsanto® (maker of Roundup®) For Not Warning The Public of Known Risks...

Lawsuits are currently being filed against Monsanto® company, the manufacturer of Roundup® herbicide, for failing to warn the public of known cancer risks with its glyphosate-based product, Roundup®.

The lawsuits allege that Monsanto® intentionally decided to not warn the public amidst overwhelming research and studies that link glyphosate-based herbicides to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers.

TV, print and online marketing for Roundup® products contain no warnings or disclosures regarding the known cancer risks of their products. Despite the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer's recent findings, Monsanto® still refuses to warn consumers of cancer risks.

Clear warnings of known risks would have allowed you to take preventative precautions when using Roundup® -- or to have avoided its use altogether.
