Abstract
At this time of environmental crisis, pesticides represent a major threat to the environment and to human health alike. The widely used herbicide glyphosate is suspected of acting as a mutagen, a carcinogen as well as a neurotoxic substance for the professionals who use it. This possibly also holds true for the population at large. Despite increasing warnings from the independent scientific community, this product was granted provisional registration for Europe in 2017, and the decision has been postponed to 2022 with a report on the decision by that date. In fact, EU and US public authorities - who in theory are guarantors of public health - seem to put up with biased expert committees, falsification of science and attacks against a WHO health protection agency, as they keep relying on administrative pseudo-science as a basis for their decisions.
