The accusations against Monsanto were filed to Judge Vince Chhabria of U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, as he reviews all of the scientific evidence in a lawsuit brought by farmers who say Monsanto\u2019s herbicide Roundup gave them cancer. Chhabria\u2019s decision on whether there is enough scientific evidence to find a link between cancer and glyphosate will determine whether the case warrants a full trial, potentially opening Monsanto up to having to pay millions of dollars in compensation. \u201cThere is overwhelming evidence \u2014 whether it be the epidemiology, toxicology or mechanistic data \u2014 that exposure to glyphosate-based formulations causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma,\u201d plaintiff lawyers told the court in a response to claims from Monsanto they had failed to prove any link between glyphosate and cancer. \u201cMonsanto has alternatively disparaged or praised the study, depending on how it affects the viability of its products\u201d \u2014 Plaintiff lawyers Developments in the case are being watched carefully in Europe, where experts are due to gather November 9 in Brussels to vote on a new European Commission proposal to renew glyphosate\u2019s license for use in the EU for five years. France argues that glyphosate should be phased out, while Germany pitched extending glyphosate\u2019s license for as little as three years despite numerous regulatory bodies saying the substance is safe. Using guidance from eight scientific experts \u2014 including Christopher Portier, who contributed to a critical opinion from an arm of the World Health Organization on the carcinogenicity of glyphosate \u2014 the plaintiffs\u2019 lawyers in the California case said Monsanto unjustly asked the court to \u201cignore dozens of positive findings\u201d linking glyphosate to cancer. They also argue that Monsanto relies way too heavily on one study \u201cthat was flawed from its inception,\u201d according to a copy of the response filed with the court on October 27 and obtained by POLITICO. That study \u2014 the Agricultural Health Study \u2014 looked at the effects of multiple pesticides, including glyphosate, on 89,000 farmers and their spouses in Iowa and North Carolina. It found that exposure to glyphosate was not associated with increased cancer incidence. Plaintiffs told the judge, however, that the study\u2019s value is \u201climited due to numerous design flaws.\u201d The lawyers added: \u201cMonsanto has alternatively disparaged or praised the study, depending on how it affects the viability of its products.\u201d A letter sent Tuesday to the Commission, the European Parliament and governments in the EU from Michael Baum, one of the lead attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case, also points out that Beate Ritz, chair of the epidemiology department at the University of California, found that out of 32 epidemiology studies looking at the link between glyphosate and cancer, 28 showed a higher risk for people exposed to the substance.  Farmers are alleging that Monsanto\u2019s herbicide Roundup gave them cancer | Philippe Huguen\/AFP via Getty Images A spokesperson for Monsanto, in response to questions about the accusations, said the company would respond to the plaintiffs before all sides go to court on December 11. The spokesperson also pointed to the company\u2019s original brief to the court, in which Monsanto argued the plaintiffs\u2019 lawyers have failed to prove general causation between glyphosate and cancer. That document, seen by POLITICO, says the Agricultural Health Study report criticized by plaintiff lawyers included data from the most highly exposed populations in the agriculture sector. Although a decision in the case on whether there is enough scientific evidence to prove causality between glyphosate and cancer is not due until early next year, noise from the drama has attracted ample attention in Brussels.
