Known by who? Here is the latest (30 January 2020) information from the Federal Government. I don't consider lawyers who win lawsuits to know anything about science or medicine.

"EPA has concluded its regulatory review of glyphosate—the most widely used herbicide in the United States. After a thorough review of the best available science, as required under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, EPA has concluded that there are no risks of concern to human health when glyphosate is used according to the label and that it is not a carcinogen."
