Monsanto’s Roundup Weed and Grass Killer is the most widely used herbicide in the world. Since its introduction in the 1970’s, Monsanto has marketed the product–and its main ingredient glyphosate–as being…”no more toxic to people and animals than table salt”. (Monsanto Europe, December 1995) Monsanto is now facing hundreds of lawsuits because Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, is believed to cause several types of cancer, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
