The <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2016\/10\/u-s-house-committee-wages-war-finding-monsantos-glyphosateroundup-causes-cancer\/\">Committee summoned the National Institutes of Health<\/a> to answer questions about taxpayer contributions to WHO\u2019s cancer agency. The committee had problems with IARC scientists\u2019 findings that glyphosate is a probable carcinogen. The move was led by Rep.\u00a0Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), chairman of the committee, and was a clear attempt to challenge IARC\u2019s March 2015 findings on glyphosate. In defending IARC\u2019s previous findings, IARC director Christopher Wild, Ph.D. rejected Rep. Chaffetz\u2019 criticisms and defended IARC\u2019s findings, known as \u201cmonographs,\u201d as \u201cwidely respected for their scientific rigor, standardized and transparent process and. . .freedom from conflicts of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ACC represents the vested economic interest of large U.S. chemical companies. which determine its positions. Cal Dooley CEO and president of the ACC has said in a statement about their call to strip\u00a0IARC&#8217;s program, saying that &#8220;IARC monographs program has been responsible for countless misleading headlines about the safety of the food we eat, the jobs we do and the products we use in our daily lives.&#8221;\u00a0 IARC director Christopher Wild, Ph.D. has made it clear that IARC is solely concerned with uncovering the truth through sound science, not pushing any sort of hidden agenda.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/gateway\/index.php?pesticideid=37\">Glyphosate<\/a>, produced and sold as Roundup by Monsanto, is touted as a \u201clow toxicity\u201d chemical and \u201csafer\u201d than other chemicals by EPA and industry and is widely used in food production and on lawns, gardens, parks, and children\u2019s playing fields. However, IARC\u2019s classification of glyphosate as a Group 2A \u201cprobable\u201d carcinogen finds that glyphosate is anything but safe. According to IARC, Group 2A means that the chemical is probably carcinogenic to humans based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. The agency is considering the findings of\u00a0an EPA Scientific Advisory Panel report, along with several recent studies in making its conclusion. Advocates want the agency to also consider studies that show\u00a0glyphosate causes DNA and chromosomal damage in human cells,\u00a0and epidemiologic studies that show elevated levels of non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma are associated with\u00a0glyphosate exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Independent peer-reviewed science both in and outside of the U.S., including IARC, points to a growing list of adverse effects from pesticides and genetically engineered (GE) crops, ranging from the \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/pollinators\/nolongeraBIGmystery.pdf\">decline of bees<\/a>\u00a0to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=15245\">carcinogenicity of the widely used herbicide glyphosate<\/a>. It is critical that federal scientific agencies tasked with protecting human and environmental health are able to inform the public without repercussions from industry groups. Beyond Pesticides supports the independent science conducted by IARC, and urges that its work continues ungagged by industry groups.<\/p>\n<p><em>All unattributed positions and opinions in this piece are those of Beyond Pesticides.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/r-us-chemical-industry-body-calls-for-reform-of-who-cancer-agency-2017-1\">Business Insider<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-health-cancer-iarc-idUSKBN1592Q6\">Reuters<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides,\u00a0January 30, 2016) The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization&#8217;s (WHO) cancer research branch, is again under attack.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19920"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19936,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19920\/revisions\/19936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
