By Dominique Patton BEIJING (Reuters) - Three Chinese citizens are taking China's Ministry of Agriculture to court in a bid to make public a toxicology report supporting the approval of Monsanto's popular weedkiller, Roundup, 27 years ago. The case, a rare example of a lawsuit by private citizens against the Chinese government, comes amid renewed attention on glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup, after a controversial report by a World Health Organization group last month found it to be "probably carcinogenic to humans" - a claim denied by Monsanto. It also underlines the deep-seated fears held by some Chinese over genetically modified food. China imports about 65 percent of the world's traded soybeans. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
