I wonder why you wrote that this "directly contradicts" doi:10.1038/bjc.2014.148 when they each find similar stat sig RRs with Non-hodgkins lymphoma (& which is linked with pesticide exposure in many other studies too?). It may not help your argument but seems worth reporting!pic.twitter.com/t59rChcmtj

You're right. This guy is from ACSH. https://www.acsh.org/profile/gideon-meyerowitz-katz … The hitman-for-hire blackwater of science. Funded by Chevron, Coca-Cola, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Bayer Cropscience, Procter & Gamble, Syngenta, 3M, McDonald's, Monsanto. La crème de la crème.

Yes, I had noticed his ACSH link too, & their very friendly relationship with Monsanto etc - pretty shocking really that the
@guardian should publish a puff piece like this which is so clearly off the mark in relation to the results of the study & attacking claims it didn't make!pic.twitter.com/9dvzBWc76k

Would love to know exactly what you're suggesting here. The ACHS has republished one of my pieces - with permission - but I'd be interested to know precisely what relationship you're suggesting?

That you completely missed the important link reported in the research between reduced NHL & eating organic food (plus you indicated that this was contradicted by Bradbury,2014) which found the same linkage - all when Glyphosate is linked with NHL in the US courts. Sloppy stuff

ACSH is "an industry front group that produces PR ammunition for the food processing and chemical industries" (Stauber) if you want to claim 'independence' you would be wise not to be listed on their WWW site - especially when writing articles aligned to their lobbying interests

Oh? So your argument is that I'm being paid by the ACHS to write articles for the Guardian?

I didn't say that at all. I would be welcome a full declaration of any interests you might have with ACHS, Monsanto, Bayer or glyphosate though given the rose tinted spectacles (blinkers?) through which you appear to view their world - just to clear the matter up...

Sure thing. I have no financial interests with any private organisations, I am paid entirely by the Australian government. I earn a few hundred dollars a year - it varies - writing freelance pieces, not all of which are paid
