A widely cited glyphosate safety study has finally been retracted—but the real story is how it remained in circulation for decades after concerns were already public. This article examines the timeline, the role of ghostwriting, and what it reveals about how scientific knowledge is formed, maintained, and sometimes left unchallenged.
A cornerstone glyphosate “safety” study used by regulators for decades has just been retracted — after evidence showed it was ghostwritten by Monsanto. This changes everything about how glyphosate risk has been assessed, including here in New Zealand.
Bayer has quietly added another €1 billion to its Roundup lawsuit fund, pushing total reserves close to €7 billion. If glyphosate-based weedkillers are truly “safe,” why does the litigation never stop? And what does this growing legal fallout mean for New Zealand?
The Environmental Law Initiative is taking the Environmental Protection Authority to court again
Yes, again.
They’re challenging the Environmental Protection Authority’s (EPA) refusal to reassess glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides (such as Roundup®). But this time? It’s headed to the Court of...
As trust in vague labels fades, more people are turning to glyphosate residue testing and demanding proof over promises—especially here in New Zealand.
What happens when “the science” isn’t the full story? This article breaks down how industry messaging shapes public understanding of glyphosate-based weedkillers — and why New Zealanders are asking sharper questions.
Bayer tried to secure legal immunity for Roundup cancer lawsuits in Missouri — and failed. The courts upheld a US$611 million verdict, setting a powerful precedent. As New Zealand debates glyphosate residue limits and regulatory oversight, the lesson is clear: accountability shouldn’t be optional.
When a local columnist praises glyphosate as an environmental hero and dismisses health concerns as “hysteria,” it’s time to dig deeper. Here’s our response — with facts, court cases, and real-world testing.
When the High Court sided with the EPA over glyphosate, it wasn’t a win for science — it was a win for procedure. If regulators and courts won’t protect us, who will?
The Missouri Supreme Court just upheld a $611 million Roundup verdict, confirming Bayer’s failure to warn consumers. Yet in New Zealand, Roundup is still sold without health warnings. If tobacco, alcohol, and even energy drinks carry labels, why doesn’t a product linked to cancer?
