Hidden Cash

There is quite a fuss about glyphosphate weedkiller  as originally marketed by Monsanto (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/12/revealed-monsantos-secret-funding-for-weedkiller-studies-roundup). There had been a debate about whether the compound is carcinogenic (cancer-causing) in humans. Monsanto apparently covertly funded research (not admitted in the article or by the publishing journal), convincing the EU that a loss of this preparation would substantially reduce wheat yields as well  as  augmenting the release of climate-changing carbon dioxide by ploughing the land ('Roundup' can negate the need to plough).Monsanto has now been taken over by Beyer but the point remains that any failure to specify funding casts doubts on the veracity of findings (even if the funder is 'hands off'). It simply should not happen.
