(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, December 21, 2023) A new study published in Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology<\/em><\/a> adds to prior research<\/a> indicating glyphosate promotes the occurrence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) through diet by causing liver inflammation and oxidative stress. More importantly, the predisposition for NAFLD occurred at levels within toxicological limits, which are doses of glyphosate classified as causing no adverse effects or No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL). NAFLD is a condition that causes swelling of the liver and can eventually lead to cirrhosis, cancer, or liver failure. This study highlights the Westernized diet (WD), comprised of foods enriched in saturated fats, cholesterol, and simple carbohydrates (e.g., fructose, glucose, and sucrose), plays a role in the nearly 40 percent<\/a> increased risk of NAFLD. Although glyphosate disrupts gut microbes and induces liver inflammation, oxidative stress, and fatty acid levels that promote NAFLD, the combination of WD and glyphosate reduces the threshold risk for NAFLD development.<\/p>\n

NAFLD is a growing worldwide epidemic, becoming the most prevalent form of liver disease and impacting at least\u00a025 percent<\/a>\u00a0of the globe. Therefore, studies like this shed light on how diet and chemical exposure can work synergistically (together) to exacerbate disease risk.<\/p>\n

The study evaluates whether choric (long-term) glyphosate exposure at the NOAEL or lower promotes the occurrence of diet-induced NAFLD. Over six months, researchers fed mice a Westernized diet consisting of high-calorie, high-sugar, high-fat foods with a high-sugar liquid while the control mice ate a balanced diet. The researchers also exposed the mice to the lowest dose of glyphosate (under the acceptable daily intake<\/a> representing the estimated human environmental exposure) and another amount below or within the NOAEL. Lastly, research collected blood samples and liver tissue to evaluate the morphological, biochemical, and transcriptomic changes. Although WD induces obesity, high cholesterol, and glucose intolerance (as seen in diabetes), glyphosate did not exacerbate these risks. However, glyphosate did increase the rate (upregulation) of 212 genes associated with oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver while downregulating 731 genes related to cell division.<\/p>\n

Glyphosate<\/a>\u00a0is the most commonly used active ingredient worldwide, appearing in many herbicide formulas, including Bayer\u2019s (formerly Monsanto) Roundup.\u00ae The use of this chemical has been increasing since the inception of crops genetically modified to tolerate glyphosate over two decades ago. Glyphosate is often promoted by industry as a \u201clow toxicity\u201d chemical and \u201csafer\u201d than other chemicals, yet it has been shown to have\u00a0detrimental impacts<\/a> on humans and the environment. The toxic herbicide readily contaminates the ecosystem, with residues pervasive in food and water commodities. In addition to this study, decades of accumulated scientific literature commonly associates glyphosate with human, biotic, and ecosystem\u00a0harm<\/a>. Thus, glyphosate has been the\u00a0subject<\/a>\u00a0of extensive controversy about its safety for humans, nonhuman organisms, and ecosystems.\u00a0For instance, the presence of glyphosate in human bodies has risen dramatically during the past three decades.\u00a0Research at the University of California San Diego found<\/a>\u00a0that, between two data collection periods (1993\u20131996 and 2014\u20132016), the percentage of people testing positive for the presence of glyphosate (or its metabolites) in urine rose by an average of 500 percent, peaking at 1,208 percent. Today, four out of five<\/a>\u00a0U.S. individuals over six years old have detectable levels of glyphosate in their bodies, with adolescents having higher bodily concentrations of glyphosate than adults<\/a>. Glyphosate exposure has implications for\u00a0the development of various health anomalies,<\/a>\u00a0including the distortion of DNA function, leading to several chronic diseases<\/a> like cancer<\/a>, Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/a>, metabolic disorders<\/a>, gut dysbiosis<\/a>, nervous system disorders<\/a>, and neurodevelopment disorders like\u00a0autism<\/a>. In recent years,\u00a0numerous lawsuits have targeted Monsanto<\/a>\u00a0(now Bayer), which contains glyphosate, alleging that the herbicide contributes to the plaintiffs\u2019 cancers. Therefore, advocates say that it is crucial to comprehend the full spectrum of glyphosate\u2019s effects on human health, from its potential carcinogenicity to its neurological and emotional ramifications.<\/p>\n

Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies glyphosate herbicides as \u201cnot likely to be carcinogenic to humans,\u201d stark evidence<\/a>\u00a0demonstrates links to various cancers, including\u00a0non-Hodgkin lymphoma<\/a>. For instance, the\u00a0International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified the chemical as a probable carcinogen<\/a> or cancer-causing chemical. EPA\u2019s classification perpetuates adverse impacts, especially among vulnerable individuals, like pregnant women, infants, children, and the elderly. Therefore, Beyond Pesticides has reported<\/a>\u00a0on EPA\u2019s ongoing failures to protect people and the environment from glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) compounds. Additionally, glyphosate\u2019s ubiquity threatens\u00a093 percent<\/a>\u00a0of all U.S. endangered species,\u00a0resulting<\/a>\u00a0in biodiversity loss and ecosystem disruption (e.g.,\u00a0soil erosion<\/a>,\u00a0loss of services<\/a>, and\u00a0trophic cascades<\/a>). Moreover, chemical use has been increasing since the inception of crops genetically modified to tolerate glyphosate. Not only do health officials warn that continuous use of glyphosate will perpetuate adverse health and ecological effects, but that use also highlights recent concerns over\u00a0antibiotic resistance<\/a>. This increase in resistance is evident among\u00a0herbicide-tolerant<\/a>\u00a0GE crops, including seeds genetically engineered to be\u00a0glyphosate-tolerant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Previous research<\/a> confirms what this study finds, that low doses of glyphosate exposure have implications for fatty liver disease. A\u00a02015 study<\/a>\u00a0found that chronically exposing rats to ultra-low amounts of glyphosate in drinking water results in tissue and organ damage, including changes to gene expression within the liver and kidneys.\u00a0A 2017 study<\/a>, which also fed minuscule doses of glyphosate weed killer to rats, found an increased likelihood that exposed animals would develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Roundup formulations can also induce a dose-dependent formation of DNA adducts (altered forms of DNA linked to chemical exposure, playing a pivotal role in chemical carcinogenesis) in the kidneys and liver of mice. While the study notes glyphosate did not influence obesity-induced NAFLD through high cholesterol, glucose intolerance, fat retention, and liver scarring, mechanisms that promote NAFLD still include oxidative stress and inflammation. This study suggests that glyphosate exposure upregulates oxidative metabolism, causing mitochondrial disruption and oxidative stress. Additionally, the study indicates lipid peroxidation (degradation of lipids) in the liver may play a role in upregulating proinflammatory proteins (cytokines) that play a role in inflammatory response. These two processes from glyphosate exposure can promote the risk of NAFLD in conjunction with WD.<\/p>\n

Health officials estimate about 100 million individuals in the U.S. have NAFLD, with NAFLD being the most common liver disease among children. Cases of NAFLD have doubled over the past 20 years. Therefore, it is essential to mitigate preventable exposure to disease-inducing pesticides. For more information about pesticides\u2019 effects on human and animal health, see Beyond Pesticides\u2019\u00a0Pesticide-Induced Diseases Database<\/a>, including pages on immune<\/a>\u00a0system disorders (e.g.,\u00a0hepatitis<\/a>\u00a0[liver condition], cancer<\/a>\u00a0(including\u00a0lymphoma<\/a>), and more.<\/p>\n

One way to reduce human and environmental contamination from pesticides is to\u00a0buy<\/a>,\u00a0grow<\/a>, and\u00a0support organic<\/a>. Numerous studies show that\u00a0switching to an organic diet can rapidly and drastically reduce the levels of synthetic pesticides in one\u2019s body<\/a>. A\u00a02020 study<\/a>\u00a0found a one-week switch to an organic diet\u00a0reduced an individual\u2019s glyphosate body burden by 70 percent.<\/a>\u00a0Furthermore, given the\u00a0wide availability of non-pesticidal alternative strategies<\/a>, these methods can promote a safe and healthy environment, especially among chemically vulnerable individuals or those with health conditions.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34205"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34205\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34222,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34205\/revisions\/34222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
