What science tells us about the health risks of Roundup

The U.S. Supreme Court has sided with Bayer, the manufacturer of the weedkiller Roundup, in a significant ruling that could impact thousands of lawsuits. In a 7-2 decision, the court overturned a Missouri jury's award to a man who claimed Roundup caused his cancer.

The ruling is expected to block numerous other claims across the country, potentially shielding Bayer from substantial financial liabilities. This decision centers on the legal argument of how plaintiffs can prove the link between the herbicide and their illnesses, particularly concerning federal regulatory oversight.

Dr. Chadi Nabhan, author of "Toxic Exposure: The True Story behind the Monsanto Trials and the Search for Justice," discussed the ruling's implications. His insights likely shed light on the scientific and legal complexities surrounding Roundup litigation and the challenges faced by individuals seeking justice for alleged harm from the product.
