Excerpts: "Argentine doctors interviewed by the AP said their caseloads — not laboratory 
experiments — show an apparent correlation between the arrival of intensive industrial
agriculture and rising rates of cancer and birth defects in rural communities, and they're 
calling for broader, longer-term studies to rule out agrochemical exposure as a cause of
these and other illnesses."

[Monsanto spokesperson] "Thomas Helscher told the AP in an email Tuesday that "the absence 
of reliable data makes it very difficult to establish trends in disease incidence and even more 
difficult to establish causal relationships. To our knowledge there are no established causal
relationships."
