To clarify with this staggering figure. The couple&#x27;s lawyer requested 1 billion each, the jury reached a verdict in their favour regarding the cancer but they don&#x27;t get to say &quot;yes we find Monsanto guilty but only for X payout&quot;. So the actual payout will likely be in the range of 1&#x2F;10th of that as they always get reduced by the judge.

This is what epa said:<p>Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency issued an interim review that said the agency “continues to find that there are no risks to public health when glyphosate is used in accordance with its current label and that glyphosate is not a carcinogen.”<p>Here is what EFSA said:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.efsa.europa.eu&#x2F;en&#x2F;topics&#x2F;topic&#x2F;glyphosate" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.efsa.europa.eu&#x2F;en&#x2F;topics&#x2F;topic&#x2F;glyphosate</a><p>In September 2017, articles appeared in a number of European press outlets casting doubt on the integrity of the EU assessment of glyphosate, in particular the content of the assessment report submitted to EFSA by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). EFSA responded with a statement in which it defended the robustness of the EU assessment and pointed out that the allegations were based on a misunderstanding of the peer review process.<p>This drug has been used forever so there should be a lot of data available.

If that&#x27;s what it takes to make these companies not behave like absolute gangsters so be it.<p>Most big to massive companies wipe their butts with a couple million dollars fines as a &quot;cost of doing business&quot;.

Finally a sum of money which is at least at the same scale as the wrongdoing.<p>They have to shut Monsanto down and sentence the decision makers.

This is really absurd. All evidence points to Roundup not causing cancer, but apparently science is irrelevant to the law.
