“With Parkinson’s, this association appears to be due to the gut, vagus nerve and brain axis, where the exposure affects the microbiome in the gut, which then ascends slowly up to the brain, causing the neurodegenerative disease years later,�

“There is also a growing association being found between high-dose glyphosate or occupational exposure and metabolic disorders, liver disease andsome cancers, specifically lymphoma.”

He added, “Growing research backs this.I favor limiting it.”

“When we apply them across millions of acres and allow them into our food system, we put Americans at risk.”

Studies have shown that glyphosate, which is used in products such as Roundup, owned by Monsanto, could raise cancer risk.

In one University of Washington study published in the journal Mutation Research, researchers found that exposure to it increased the risk ofnon-Hodgkin lymphomaby 41%.

The nonprofit Investigate Midwest, which analyzed data from both the U.S.Geological Survey and the National Cancer Institute, also recently found that pesticides may contribute to cancer rates.

After attending a medical conference at Columbia University’s Celiac Disease Center, Ryerson began to question modern farming practices rather than the gluten itself.

“A lot of times, farmers are spraying Roundup on our grains right before harvest to facilitate an easier harvest,” she said.“After that easier harvest, because everything’s dry at the same time, those crops go directly to the mill and may end up in our food supply, at alarmingly high levels.”
