International Study Reveals Glyphosate Weed Killers Cause Multiple Types of Cancer
A comprehensive carcinogenicity study on the world’s most used herbicide, glyphosate, involving scientists from Europe and the U.S., has found that low doses of the controversial weed killer cause multiple types of cancer in rats. In this long-term study, published on Tuesday, glyphosate alone and two commercial glyphosate-based formulations, Roundup BioFlow (MON 52276) used in…

Studio internazionale rivela che gli erbicidi a base di glifosato causano diversi tipi di cancro
Il Global Glyphosate Study, uno studio internazionale sugli effetti del glifosato, l’erbicida più utilizzato al mondo, ha scoperto che basse dosi del controverso erbicida causano diversi tipi di cancro nei ratti. In questo studio a lungo termine, pubblicato oggi, il glifosato e due formulazioni commerciali a base di glifosato, Roundup Bioflow (MON 52276) utilizzato nell’UE…

Global Glyphosate Study Pilot Phase Shows Reproductive and Developmental Effects at ‘Safe’ Dose
A new study (1) has found that exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs), including Roundup, caused reproductive and developmental effects in both male and female rats, at a dose level currently considered safe in the U.S. (1.75 mg/kg bw/day). Exposure to GBHs was associated with androgen-like effects, including a statistically significant increase of anogenital distance (AGD)…

Fase Pilota dello Studio Globale sul Glifosato mostra effetti avversi per lo sviluppo e il sistema riproduttivo anche a dosi “Sicure”
Un nuovo studio (1) ha mostrato che l’esposizione ad erbicidi a base di glifosato (GBHs), incluso il Roundup, ha causato diversi effetti sullo sviluppo e il sistema riproduttivo in ratti, sia maschi sia femmine, esposti a dosi attualmente considerate sicure negli USA (1.75 mg/Kg/die). In particolare, l’esposizione a GBHs è stata associata ad alcuni effetti…

Fase Pilota dello Studio Globale sul Glifosato mostra effetti avversi per la salute anche a dosi “Sicure”
Da oggi sono disponibili online tre articoli sulla fase pilota dello Studio Globale sul Glifosato dell’Istituto Ramazzini. I tre articoli saranno pubblicati a fine Maggio dalla prestigiosa rivista scientifica Environmental Health. Lo studio pilota ha indagato gli effetti degli erbicidi a base di glifosato (GBHs) su ratti esposti ad una concentrazione di glifosato equivalente alla…
