Monsanto accused of ghostwriting papers on Roundup cancer risk
http://seekingalpha.com/news/3251043-monsanto...email_link
Monsanto (MON -0.3%) is accused in court documents of ghostwriting scientific literature that led the EPA to conclude a key chemical in its Roundup weed killer should not be classified as carcinogenic.
A group suing the company on behalf of farmers and others who claim exposure to glyphosate caused non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma allege in a court filing which had been partially redacted that the EPA “may be unaware of Monsanto’s deceptive authorship practice.”
The plaintiff lawyers said in the filing that MON’s toxicology manager and his boss were ghostwriters for two of the reports that the EPA committee relied on to reach its conclusion.
