The chemical is on the WHO’s cancer list, but the US Environmental Protection Agency doesn’t agree. They see no evidence linking glyphosate to cancer. It’s a chemical widely used all over the US and it has been in use since the early 70’s. There are plenty of real hazards we face living in Southern California without worrying about baseless allegations against products we use every day.
So what’s really going on? Why does California have a law in place that compels it to accept the recommendations of the World Health Organization? This in spite of the fact that news agency Reuters discovered clear proof that the organization blatantly ignored strong evidence that there’s no link between glyphosate and cancer. It’s a puzzling question.
California has always taken a leading role on environmental policy and health matters. It’s a commendable position, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of the truth. In a free society like America, government should only place restrictions on freedoms when it’s absolutely necessary. This is a clear violation of the First Amendment and Judge Shubb agreed.
