Monsanto faced a major setback on Tuesday, as a federal judge ruled to allow three expert witnesses to testify that its controversial weed killer Roundup causes cancer, opening up a floodgate for thousands of lawsuits to come.
The agrochemical company, which is now a unit of Bayer AG following a $62.5 billion takeover that concluded in June, has been engulfed in a trial with 46-year-old Dwayne “Lee” Johnson in recent weeks.
Johnson claims he became sick with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after using Roundup for more than two years as a groundskeeper for a school district outside of San Francisco.

As they well should be. Roundup ready or GMO products used in all of our food will cause stomach, colo-rectal and intestinal cancer rises around the the world. "Roundup" a herbicide dating back to Vietnam and also know as Agent Orange has long range lasting effects in the human body. Engineered to burst any insects stomach as it feeds on the host plant it can have the same devastating effects on a small child and or adult later in life. High Fructose Corn Syrup and other derivatives from GMO crops don't affect humans until they have built up in their bodies. Its like the rain barrel effect and as the rain accumulates in a barrel so does "Roundup" in the body. When the barrel is as full as it can be the water runs over. So does the adverse effects of Monsanto's "Roundup" no effect initially but as it builds up in the body it can effect the stomach, and esophagus causing food allergies, stomach ailments and will eventually lead to cancer.

Literally everything you said is incorrect.
Roundup is a weed killer not an insecticide.
Roundup is not Agent Orange. Not even close...it wasn't even invented until the 70s
High fructose corn syrup is not a derivative from GMO crops, and can be made from Non-GMO crops.

Considering monsanto's cash cow in the 60's was agent orange, a defoliant linked to cancer, you have to wonder how much of that chemistry made it into their current products.
