A new study has refuted the idea that glyphosate causes cancer.

Published in "Critical Reviews in Toxicology", the study was led by four independent panels of experts from Canada, the United States, Denmark, Brazil and the United Kingdom and other countries who examined the research on glyphosate and whether it is carcinogenic.

The panels concluded that "glyphosate is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans." The panels also rejected the findings of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) panel, which decided in March 2015 that glyphosate is probably carcinogenic to humans.
