  1. July 2022: #Glyphosate infiltrates the #brain and increases pro-#inflammatory cytokine TNFα: implications for neurodegenerative disorders

    "#Herbicides are environmental contaminants that have gained much attention due to the potential hazards they pose to human health. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in many commercial herbicides, is the most heavily applied herbicide worldwide. The recent rise in glyphosate application to #corn and #soy crops correlates positively with increased death rates due to Alzheimer’s disease and other #neurodegenerative disorders. Glyphosate has been shown to cross the blood–brain barrier in in vitro models, but has yet to be verified in vivo. Additionally, reports have shown that glyphosate exposure increases pro-inflammatory #cytokines in blood plasma, particularly #TNFα disorders."
