Monsanto executive here discusses "beat the shit" out leaders of "Moms Across America" group that challenged health safety of its Roundup weedkiller. Emails produced in lawsuit related to allegations regarding the weedkiller, AKA glyphosate
This email is part of a large collection of documents made public through the lawsuit. Demonstrates how Monsanto worked to try to influence public opinion, in alliance with academics who it sometimes helped fund. Here is link to the whole cache of docs baumhedlundlaw.com/pdf/monsanto-d…
I wrote about this back in 2015. Fascinating to see all of this additional documentation. nytimes.com/2015/09/06/us/…
The same documents also provide evidence of behind the scenes fight at one academic journal after evidence that Monsanto had played hidden role in a critical set of papers related to health safety of weed-killing agent glyphosate.
Yes despite this above email, these academic articles were never retracted.
