This is a piece by Carrie Gilliam. She's a long time investigative researcher into environmental

contamination. And her article here at the New Lead, this is actually a new publication,

Secret Paracwat Papers reveal corporate tactics to protect weed killer link to Parkinson's

disease. Paracwat is an herbicide just like glyphosate. And it's actually replacing glyphosate

on the US market because glyphosate is, you know, getting phased out in the popular culture

because of the lawsuits and all of the papers that have come forward, the internal document showing

So this is what this article had to say, looking at a lot of these discovery documents.

In one, defense of tactic, the documents lay out how the company worked behind the scenes to try

Company officials wanted to make sure the efforts could not be traced back to

agencies may be kind of having issues with this is because the industry is stacking them,

And to maintain and safeguard Paracwat registrations, the strategy must consider how to best

influence academia and regulatory and NGO environments. So that's the conversation is Paracwat

is leading to the development of Parkinson's, which is a horrible degenerative disease,
