..." The Pilliod case will be the third to go to trial in the sweeping Roundup mass tort litigation. Alva Pilliod and ...his wife Alberta Pilliod, both in their 70s and married for 48 years, allege that their cancers – forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma – are due to their long exposure to Roundup. Their advanced ages and cancer diagnoses warrant a speedy trial, according to court filings by their attorneys. Monsanto opposed their request for the expedited trial date but Petrou found the couple’s illnesses and ages warranted preference. Alberta has brain cancer while Alva suffers from a cancer that has invaded his pelvis and spine. Alva was diagnosed in 2011 while Alberta was diagnosed in 2015. They used Roundup from roughly the mid -1970s until only a few years ago.
The Pilliod suit echoes others in claiming that “Monsanto led a prolonged campaign of misinformation to convince government agencies, farmers and the general public that Roundup was safe.” "...
.
MY COMMENT: Add to all of this, Glyphosate herbicide residue is in all GMO food you buy and Glyphosate is also in many non-GMO foods because of the filthy practice of spraying Roundup/Glyphosate at harvest time to kill non-GMO food crops to cut harvest time and among these crops is non-GMO sugar cane.
Every sweet goodie you buy in a grocery store or bakery that is made with regular non-GMO sugar, sugar syrup which includes items like yogurt and ice cream, or is colored with 'caramel coloring', which is made by burning cane sugar, every single one of those goodies has Glyphosate residue in it.
The only safe sugar is USDA ORGANIC sugar.

The 'key' to how Glyphosate residues in our food make us ill is by destroying our immune systems. Our immune systems are composed of friendly commensal bacter...ia, some of these bacteria digest our food. Each of these bacteria contains the chemical pathway that is found in both plants and in bacteria (microbes) that is called the 'Shikimate Pathway'.
All herbicides including Glyphosate after application, immediately kill both plants and bacteria excluding E. coli and Salmonella which continue to thrive in the presense of Glyphosate. Remember that CAFO food animals are fed a diet composed of GMO grain, which contain Glyphosate herbicide residues. Glyphosate in the guts of food animals works in the same way as it works in a human's gut. It destroys the animals immune system, which should help explain why so many food recalls today are for E.coli and Salmonella contamination of meat products.
All herbicides kill living things, it takes a bit longer for an herbicide, like Glyphosate to kill us because we are larger, complex creatures than our immune system's delicate commensal bacteria. We are dependent upon our immune systems to protect us from disease but when our immune systems are systematically destroyed by Glyphosate residues in our food, we too become ill. Often we die from our illness when we no longer have our immune systems intact.
Glyphosate is the most prolfic of the herbicides (man made chemicals) that is in the market place today, that is sprayed directly on our food crops.
No herbicide should ever be in our food system.
------------------------------------------------
Monsanto holds the US Patent for Glyphosate as an antibiotic that destroys through the 'Shikimate Pathway'. What Monsanto fails to mention in their patent is that our gut microbes also have the Shikimate Pathway and they are destroyed by Glyphosate herbicide residues in our food system. This is how our immune systems are destroyed, a little at a time, and we eventually get ill.
No herbicide should ever be in our food system.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the consumer lawyer, is one of the main lawyers suing Monsanto for NOT telling the 'public' the truth about how dangerous their Glyphosate herbicide is. The IARC (World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer declared back in 2015 that Glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic to humans" . In the multiple USRTK web sites you should find the articles to be very interesting. I have to mention that since Monsanto lost their US Patent for Glyphosate as an herbicide back in 2000, other chemical companies have put over 750 different formulations in the market place that contain Glyphosate herbicide. Billion$ are made by chemical companies, every year, from the sale of this herbicide that the chemical industry defends vigorously.

MY COMMENT: 9,300 plus 8,000 is 17,300 lawsuits filed against Monsanto/Glyphosate for causing the blood cancer Lymphoma, as of January 2019. There will be more, many more Lymphoma lawsuits will be filed during 2019. When the lawsuits against Monsanto for Glyphosate residues in our food causing gut related cancers are instituted, I will be one of the first plaintiffs to file and I know I will have at least a million other Monsanto/Glyphosate gut related cancer victims filing lawsuits against Monsanto with me.

MY COMMENT: The following information is about the lawsuit 'Edwin Hardeman, plaintiff v. Monsanto Company and John Does 1-50 defendant'
In this lawsuit the words 'John Does 1-50 defendant' refer to people that worked for Monsanto, whom promoted Roundup/Glyphosate as being 'safe as table salt'. Among these people will be the ad agency 'Osborn & Barr', located in St. Louis, Missouri, that coined the phrase 'safe as table salt'. With a great deal of 'hope' I pray that those whom worked in our U.S. EPA that received payment from Monsanto, in any form including high paying jobs after retiring from their government position, are also sued so they do not get to enjoy their ill-gotten gains. Those that profit off the suffering of others deserve to be punished. And of course I have Jess Rowland, who was the 'Deputy Director at US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)', in mind. He IS who did profit from the suffering of others that he helped to create.
.
In the year 2000 Monsanto allowed their patent for Glyphosate as an herbicide to lapse so other chemical companies would start manufacturing Glyphosate. Monsanto maintained their patent for Glyphosate as an antibiotic. Allowing their patent for Glyphosate (a product that still makes Billion$ every year for Monsanto) as an herbicide to lapse so other chemical companies could copy the patent looks to me that Monsanto knew that it was about to become common knowledge that Glyphosate destroys the human immune system through the destruction of our gut bacteria through their 'Shikimate Pathway', and Monsanto believed that bringing in other chemical companies to 'share the blame' would exonerate Monsanto.
.
Not so Monsanto, you are NOT off the hook, and you have had to, since 2000, share your Billion$ from the sale of your deadly Glyphosate herbicide.

The decision to drop the extra safety margin called for in the Food Quality Protection Act was important in helping Monsanto gain approval for expanded tolerance levels for glyphosate residues in food.
