EPA removes report that glyphosate does not cause cancer from its website. " Carcinogenic or Not?"
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) removed a report from its website where they concluded that glyphosate was not likely to be carcinogenic to humans. The report has been pulled offline on May 2, 2016 along with 13 other documents.
Reuter reports that the regulatory agency took down the report as well as the other documents because they were not final. In a clarificatory email, EPA explained that the 86-pages report has been published inadvertently and that their review of the chemical has not been finished yet. However, the report was dated Oct. 1, 2015, was labeled as final Cancer Assessment Document, with the word FINAL being clearly printed on every single page of the document. In their report, the EPA allegedly claimed that glyphosate, the ingredient found in Monsantos common herbicide Roundup, was not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.
On the other hand, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) on its latest report, classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A), raising several controversies. During his recent interview on Here & Now, Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant insisted on claiming that Roundup is not carcinogen for humans. Its 40 years old, he said, explaining how virtually every year of its life its been under a review somewhere in the world by regulatory authorities. Monsanto keeps claiming that the EPAs document should be issued as an official classification while the regulator responded that their cancer review is not complete and that it will be peer reviewed by the end of 2016.

First it was peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage, tendon ruptures, etc. from these drugs - now they are linked to damage in the lining of the aorta. Researcher say they are over-prescribed for minor issues. Dr Mahyar Etminan, Univ of British Columbia : " told The New York Times that overusing these drugs is like trying to kill a fly with an automatic weapon.

Levaquin, Cipro, Avelox - now linked to aortic defect - even past users
Each year, more than 20 million prescriptions are written for high-potency antibiotics that have been linked to deadly heart problems. Big Pharma has tried to keep these dangers out of the public spotlight, but as the death toll continues to climb, thats becoming harder and harder.
A new case has emerged with Levaquin, which possibly causes permanent heart damage. Americas Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, discusses this with attorney Bryan Aylstock

Jury awards $55 million against Johnson & Johnson in talcum powder ovarian cancer trial
Manufacturer Johnson & Johnson has lost their second case in talcum powder-related litigation in a sign of what is to come for the company. Now that the ball has begun rolling in the litigation against Johnson & Johnson for their cancer-causing use of talcum powder, we can expect to see many more payouts from the corporate giant as it faces nearly 1,200 other similar cases.
The journey began earlier this year when Johnson & Johnson lost their first case against an Alabama woman who claimed that her daily use of talc-containing J&J product Shower to Shower had caused her ovarian cancer. The family of victim Jacqueline Fox was awarded a hefty $72 million in the verdict against J&J. Unfortunately, Foxs cancer killer her before justice could be served.
Though Johnson & Johnson declared that they intended to appeal the ruling, the strong case opened the door to the thousands of others.

Its very difficult to hide the truth about conduct as ugly as what weve seen with Johnson & Johnson in a case like this. Its just a matter of time until they must confront the reality of where they are.

Great article on Huff Po right now about NY - Bernie vs Hillary

In contrast to Clintons rally in New York, Sanders had not only attracted nearly twenty times the people, but the tens of thousands of Sanders supporters also came bearing thousands of homemade signs, puppets and dont forget, free hugs.
