Roundup found to be 'substantial factor' in causing US man's cancer
A United States jury has found glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup was a "substantial factor" in causing a man's cancer, the second such court ruling against the herbicide in less than a year.
The unanimous decision in the US District Court in California found Roundup caused 70-year-old Edwin Hardeman to develop non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after he used it for nearly 30 years to control weeds on his property.
