It's the herbicide on our dinner plates, a chemical so pervasive it's in the air we breathe, our water, our soil, and even found increasingly in our own bodies. Known as Monsanto's Roundup by consumers, and as glyphosate by scientists, the world's most popular weed killer is used everywhere from backyard gardens to golf courses to millions of acres of farmland. For decades it's been touted as safe enough to drink, but a growing body of evidence indicates just the opposite, with research tying the chemical to cancers and a host of other health threats.
In Whitewash, veteran journalist Carey Gillam uncovers one of the most controversial stories in the history of food and agriculture, exposing new evidence of corporate influence. Gillam introduces listeners to farm families devastated by cancers which they believe are caused by the chemical, and to scientists whose reputations have been smeared for publishing research that contradicted business interests.
Listeners learn about the arm-twisting of regulators who signed off on the chemical, echoing company assurances of safety even as they permitted higher residues of the herbicide in food and skipped compliance tests. And, in startling detail, Gillam reveals secret industry communications that pull back the curtain on corporate efforts to manipulate public perception.
Whitewash is more than an expose about the hazards of one chemical or even the influence of one company. It's a story of power, politics, and the deadly consequences of putting corporate interests ahead of public safety.

I'm sure the author spent years researching and compiling the facts of the story. And it is a compelling and damning expose of corporate greed and regulatory malfeasance (shall we agree on deep state?).
But after five hours, it seems that I am hearing the same facts presented over again. Perhaps it's the intricate details that, for me at least, I need to see on paper, document, see patterns. Since most of my listening is while in the vehicle, I can't do eyes to paper analysis. Maybe.
Five hours should do it...

this book is the best of all of them
It is a key element for activists and mothers and action groups who need the evidence of toxicity highlighted and most of all proof of the corruption in the FDA and paid researchers and writers.
We needed this book. it is the most important book to date for our continuing battle with the embodiment of "evil" if there ever was one.
Thank you Carey
