Carey Gillam’s 2017 book Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer, and the Corruption of Science investigates the controversial history of the most widely used herbicide in the world, and details Monsanto’s efforts to influence federal regulators, spin the science, and discredit anyone questioning the safety of their profitable herbicide. The corruption of science documented in Whitewash is critical reading for those looking to better grasp modern food policy, document the collusion between government and industry, and witness the amazing power of food corporations.
