Monsanto Employee Admits an Entire Department Exists to "Discredit" Scientists

Dare to publish a scientific study against Big Biotech, and Monsanto will defame and discredit you. For the first time, a Monsanto employee admits that there is an entire department within the corporation with the simple task of 'discrediting' and 'debunking' scientists who speak out against GMOs.

The WHO recently classified glyphosate, a chemical in Monsanto's best-selling herbicide Roundup, as carcinogenic – news that is really heating things up with biotech. So Monsanto has been demanding that the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) retract their statements about the poisons's toxicity to human health.

The company demands this even though a peer-reviewed study published in March of 2015 in the respected journal, The Lancet Oncology, conducted a analysis proving that glyphosate was indeed 'probably carcinogenic.'

Monsanto's vice president of global regulatory affairs Philip Miller told Reuters the following in interview:

"We question the quality of the assessment. The WHO has something to explain."
