Episode 129: Glyphosate, Autoimmune & America’s Cancer Belt

Could one of the most widely used herbicides in America be connected to rising rates of cancer? In this episode, we explore the growing body of research surrounding glyphosate, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, and cancer rates across the United States.

We take a closer look at Iowa and other agricultural states, where heavy glyphosate use overlaps with elevated rates of certain cancers, and discuss what researchers have found about glyphosate exposure and blood cancers. We also examine CDC biomonitoring data showing how widespread glyphosate exposure is among Americans, including children.You’ll learn about the potential mechanisms researchers are investigating, including oxidative stress, DNA damage, immune dysfunction, inflammation, and gut microbiome disruption, and why reducing unnecessary pesticide exposure may be an important part of a long-term approach to health.In this episode:
