At least 90% of soy produced by the U.S. is genetically modified by [[Monsanto]] to resist glyphosate-based herbicides such as their Round-Up product.  Farmers of these GM soy crops then spray their fields with glyphosate, which kills everything but the soy plants (and any other plants which have been contaminated with the resistant gene).  As a result, at least 90% of U.S. soy contains glyphosate. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is an arm of the World Health Organization, has determined that glyphosate is a "probable human carcinogen" (Class 2A rating)<ref>http://thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(15)70134-8/fulltext</ref> However, Jess Rowland, of the U.S. [[Environmental Protection Agency]], maintained in 2015 that glyphosate is "not likely to be carcinogenic" to humans.<ref>https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-09/documents/glyphosate_issue_paper_evaluation_of_carcincogenic_potential.pdf</ref>  There is significant suspicion that this declaration was made due only to unlawful relations between the Jess Rowland and Monsanto.<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-27/monsanto-cancer-suits-turn-to-alleged-whitewash-by-epa-official</ref>
