New map shows correlation between pesticides and Iowa cancer rate [View all]

(KMAland) -- Environmental researchers have released a new map that shows a staggering correlation between glyphosate use and cancer rates in Iowa.

Chemical makers have insisted their products are not carcinogenic, yet continue to support federal laws that would grant them immunity if they're found to be harmful.

The analysis and associated map, released by Food and Water Watch, shows that 71% of counties that spray glyphosate have a number of late-stage cases of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma above the national average.

The cases are so numerous on the map that it's impossible to see state boundary lines.
