A 2000 study that concluded the well-known herbicide glyphosate was safe, widely cited since then, has just been officially disavowed by the journal that published it. The scientists are suspected of having signed a text actually prepared by Monsanto.

I added the additional quote to the title in order to add context

    This bothers me because this kind of crap is exactly why people have trust issues with science.

    And stuff like this… https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/13/493739074/50-years-ago-sugar-industry-quietly-paid-scientists-to-point-blame-at-fat

    2008, this was already known. Wondering why they bring it up again. Maybe back then just suspected. But everybody in the “scene” knew. All you needed to do was look at the result. Hence the whole save the bees campaign back then.
