Description
"In Whitewash, veteran journalist Carey Gillam uncovers one of the most controversial stories in the history of food and agriculture. Gillam explores the global debate over the safety of a pesticide so pervasive that it is found in our cereals, snacks, and even in our urine. Known as Monsantos Roundup by consumers and as glyphosate by scientists, the worlds most popular weed killer is sold as safe enough to drink, but Gillams research shows that message has been carefully crafted to conceal a host of dangers. Whitewash is more than an expos� about the hazards of one chemical. Its a story of power, politics, and the deadly consequences of putting corporate interests ahead of public safety." --,Provided by publisher.
