Exhibit 155 · Meta-analysis

Exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides and risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma: a meta-analysis and supporting evidence

Using the highest exposure groups when available in each study, we report the overall meta-relative risk (meta-RR) of NHL in GBH-exposed individuals was increased by 41%

Pooling the 2018 Agricultural Health Study update with five case-control studies and using the highest exposure group in each, the authors found a meta-relative risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma of 1.41 (95% CI 1.13–1.75). Using the 2005 Agricultural Health Study report instead gave 1.45 (1.11–1.91). Sheppard served on EPA's 2016 FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel on glyphosate.

Finding MED-8.5
Open question The human studies of glyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphoma disagree, and the federal cancer evaluation that would weigh them is not expected before 2027.
