In the first federal case of what could become thousands of lawsuits, a jury found the world's most widely used herbicide was likely responsible for a California man's cancer, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

A two-week trial and four days of deliberation in the federal case brought the jury to Tuesday's decision that Monsanto's Roundup was likely a"substantial factor" in causing 70-year-old Edwin Hardeman's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the Chronicle reported. On Wednesday, the jury will hear evidence to determine if the company is legally responsible for Hardeman's cancer and if so, how much Hardeman will receive in damages.

"Read MoreHardeman's case against the company is the second brought to court, but more than 4,000 other similar cases await trial. The first was on the state level, when 46-year-old Dewayne Johnson in California received an expedited trial because doctors said his terminal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was bringing him near death.

Bullshit.

According to the “Founder” of Greenpeace it’s safe to drink Although when offered a glass he did say (Checks his notes...) “No, I’m not stupid”

You’re not supporting drink it.

It's been banned in Europe for a reason.

Where on Earth do these people come up with those numbers? Tell me in what universe a 70 year old farmer stands to lose $4mil in future earnings? And where does $33mil in non-economic losses come from? And $250mil

Great, everybody uses RoundUp here in Hawaii! Danger, Will Robinson!

MinorityisM What are the chances it's just these two guys? Two gets you zero.

Jury =/ scientists

And it’s found in vaccines, tests prove. ScienceWins

U.S. jury finds Bayer's Roundup caused man's cancerA U.S. jury on Tuesday found Bayer AG's glyphosate-based weed killer caused... Good. As a former employee, good. it’s not just from spraying weeds in your sidewalk. politicians gave the green lights to spray it on crops (cereal, oats everything). It is an endocrine disrupter that messes up a lot of stuff.
