Bayer makes glyphosphate safety studies public

Bayer has made its more than 100 glyphosate safety studies public, as several trials against its acquired Monsanto RoundUp glyphosate weed killer are ongoing. Charlotte Morr is Bayer Crop Science data transparency manager, “So it’s no longer speculation about what could be in those studies. By enabling access, we really give the opportunity that people can look and judge for themselves. But, I mean, the message has been the same all over. Glyphosate is a safe product when it’s used according to the instructions.” The Bayer studies are part of its summary submitted to the EU on RoundUp last December of more than 300 studies showing glyphosate is safe.The CDC today released a toxicology report on glyphosate which Bayer officials say they are now reviewing.
