The Andrew Wakefield of agriculture?
A scientist who advised a United Nations agency to classify
glyphosate as carcinogenic received $160,000 (£121,500) from law firms
bringing claims by cancer victims against the manufacturer, Monsanto.
Christopher Portier advised the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC), which concluded in March 2015 that glyphosate was a"probable human carcinogen".
He did not declare his links to the law firms in a letter to the
European Commission urging it to accept the IARC classification.

ADDING: Portier admitted in the deposition that prior to the IARC glyphosate
meetings, where he served as the only external expert adviser, he had
never worked and had no experience with glyphosate.
