This headline should probably have instead read, "Brazil child cancer deaths linked to heavy use of the pesticide glyphosate on soybean crops genetically modified and patented by glyphosate-inventor Monsanto to resist glyphosate, study finds."

And a reminder that an even more evil corporation bought Monsanto in 2018: Bayer. Bayer is being hit with lawsuits for roundup and causing cancer.

Would be nice to see the families of these children in Brazil get their payday too. Even though nothing truly makes up for the loss.
