181: Dr. Chadi Nabhan - The True Story Behind The Monsanto Cancer Trials

Dr. Chadi Nabhan is an oncologist who testified as an expert witness in the first three litigation trials against Monsanto and their potentially cancer-causing herbicide Roundup.

He chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about all the “courtroom drama” and research he uncovered.

Roundup is the most common weed killer in the world. Glyphosate (the active ingredient) taints our soil, waterways, and food — it’s even in 97% of people’s urine.

Dr. Nabhan specializes in Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a disease in which malignant cancer cells form in the lymph system. He explains Roundup’s link to cancer and other health conditions and why the courts have been ruling plaintiffs billions of dollars in damages.

You’ll also hear about:

• The chemical history of glyphosate

• Why Roundup’s formulation increases glyphosate absorption in our skin

• How researchers in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) and regulators like the EPA mishandled the science linking glyphosate to cancer

• Why the internal “Monsanto Papers” reveal the company knew about these dangers all along

• What Roundup-ready seeds (i.e., glyphosate-resistant plants) mean for the health of our food system

• Dr. Nabhan’s new book: Toxic Exposure: The True Story Behind The Monsanto Trials And The Search For Justice
