Monsanto’s Roundup Also Linked To Kidney, Liver Disease

A new study has found that long-term exposure to Monsanto’s Roundup leads to serious problems in the liver and kidneys.
Environmentalhealthnews.org reports:
The study looked at the function of genes in these organs and bolsters a controversial 2012 study that found rats exposed to small amounts of the herbicide Roundup in their drinking water had liver and kidney damage.
It is the first to examine the impacts of chronic, low exposure of Roundup on genes in livers and kidneys and suggests another potential health impact for people and animals from the widely used weed killer.
“Given even very low levels of exposure, Roundup can potentially result in organ damage when it comes to liver and kidney function,” said senior author Michael Antoniou, head of the Gene Expression and Therapy Group at King’s College London.
“The severity we don’t know, but our data say there will be harm given enough time,” he said.
It’s the latest health concern for the most widely used herbicide in the United States. Evidence has been mounting that Roundup’s main ingredient, glyphosate, is toxic. In recent years, scientists have increasingly suspected it might be at least partially behind a widespread kidney disease epidemic in Sri Lanka and parts of India and Central America.
Meanwhile, use of the herbicide has skyrocketed, increasing more than 250 times over the past four decades in the U.S., according to estimates.
Glyphosate has increasingly made headlines as the debate on genetically modified foods ramps up because many seeds from Monsanto, Roundup’s manufacturer, are genetically engineered to withstand the herbicide.
Both health researchers and environmental groups have called on governments to either ban or more strictly regulate glyphosate, especially after the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer in March determined glyphosate is probably cancer-causing in humans.
