Key Takeaways from Studies on Roundup and Its Health Risks
Epidemiological Studies: Research suggests long-term exposure to glyphosate is associated with an elevated risk of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, particularly in agricultural workers and home gardeners.
Toxicology Reports: Studies indicate glyphosate may cause DNA damage and oxidative stress, both linked to cancer development.
Regulatory Findings: While some agencies claim glyphosate is safe, organizations like the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classify it as a probable human carcinogen.
Exposure Pathways: People may be exposed through inhalation, skin contact, or contaminated food and water sources.
Litigation and Legal Precedents: Courts have awarded significant verdicts to individuals who developed cancer after prolonged Roundup use, citing inadequate safety warnings.
