The EPA Relied on an Influential Glyphosate Study Even After Learning Monsanto Was a “Ghost Writer”

The EPA has been criticized for continuing to reference a 2013 study on glyphosate's safety even after discovering that Monsanto, now part of Bayer, had a major role in its creation without disclosing this involvement. This revelation raises serious questions about transparency and trust in regulatory decisions, especially concerning widely used herbicides like glyphosate. The undisclosed involvement of a major chemical company in the study's authorship underscores potential conflicts of interest that could influence public health and environmental safety policies.
