Influential study on glyphosate safety retracted 25 years after publication

SUMMARY

A significant research article on glyphosate's carcinogenicity has been retracted due to "several critical issues that are considered to undermine the academic integrity." Published in April 2000, the study claimed glyphosate was safe.

Recent disclosures from internal Monsanto documents revealed the article’s listed authors were actually Monsanto employees, indicating ghostwriting and scientific fraud. This practice aims to enhance credibility for studies supporting the safety of products. The retraction follows 25 years after the original publication.
