181: Dr. Chadi Nabhan - The True Story Behind The Monsanto Cancer Trials

Author: Dr. Anthony Gustin July 31, 2023 Duration: 58:43

Dr. Chadi Nabhan is an oncologist who testified as an expert witness in the first three litigation trials against Monsanto and their potentially cancer-causing herbicide Roundup.

 

He chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about all the "courtroom drama" and research he uncovered.

 

Roundup is the most common weed killer in the world. Glyphosate (the active ingredient) taints our soil, waterways, and food — it's even in 97% of people's urine.

 

Dr. Nabhan specializes in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a disease in which malignant cancer cells form in the lymph system. He explains Roundup's link to cancer and other health conditions and why the courts have been ruling plaintiffs billions of dollars in damages.

 

You'll also hear about:

  • The chemical history of glyphosate

  • Why Roundup's formulation increases glyphosate absorption in our skin

  • How researchers in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) and regulators like the EPA mishandled the science linking glyphosate to cancer

  • Why the internal "Monsanto Papers" reveal the company knew about these dangers all along

  • What Roundup-ready seeds (i.e., glyphosate-resistant plants) mean for the health of our food system

  • Dr. Nabhan's new book: Toxic Exposure: The True Story Behind The Monsanto Trials And The Search For Justice

Dr. Anthony Gustin operates from a simple yet profound premise: health is our default setting. His The Natural State with Dr. Anthony Gustin is built on the idea that so much of what we call illness or fatigue stems from a mismatch between our biology and the world we've built. This isn't just another health podcast offering quick fixes. Instead, each conversation is a deep, practical exploration of how to construct a life that aligns with our fundamental needs. You'll hear from a carefully selected roster of experts-nutrition scientists, innovative fitness practitioners, and researchers who are redefining their fields. The discussions move beyond surface-level advice to examine the root causes of metabolic dysfunction, low energy, and chronic stress. What makes this podcast particularly valuable is its commitment to translation; complex biochemistry and physiology are broken down into actionable insights you can use immediately. Episodes regularly delve into the nuances of ancestral eating patterns, the science of strength and movement, and the environmental toxins that disrupt our systems. The goal is always clarity and application, providing a roadmap to strip away the noise of modern health trends and rebuild what Dr. Gustin calls a proper human environment. Tune in for thoughtful, evidence-based dialogues that empower you to reclaim the vitality that should be your natural state.
