Monsanto is the company that produces Roundup, which is the second most popular herbicide used in homes and gardens nationwide as well as the most widely used herbicide used in the agriculture industry in the US. Since the 1980s, Roundup’s main ingredient, Glyphosate, has been suspected of posing a cancer risk. A study conducted in 2001 found a connection between Roundup and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Another study published in 2003 discovered that farm workers who were exposed to Glyphosate were developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at an increased rate compared with the general public. By October 2016, there had already been 37 Roundup weed-killer cancer lawsuits filed against Monsanto.
