re: NEW STUDY on glyphosate

Exposure to either glyphosate or 2,4-D could impair brain function in young people. More than 1,000 products containing 2,4-D are sold in the U.S., and glyphosate continues to be the most widely used pesticide in the world. Did you hear, friend? Exposure to either glyphosate or 2,4-D could impair brain function in young people.

Leo Weinreb Senior Digital Production Associate, EWG ---------- Original Message ---------- To: {EMAIL} From: EWG Date: Friday, November 3, 2023 Subject: Glyphosate impairs brain function [EWG] [EWG] [BREAKING: New study links two popular weedkillers to impaired brain function! Should the U.S. BAN glyphosate?]( [YES]( [NO]( Friend, According to a peer-reviewed scientific study published last month, exposure to either glyphosate or 2,4-D – another widely used weedkiller – could impair brain function in young people. More than 1,000 products containing 2,4-D are sold in the U.S., and residues of this pesticide have been detected in surface and groundwater sources. This study is just the latest in a long line of research linking pesticides like glyphosate to multiple serious health concerns, including: • Harm to fetal growth and development. • Harm to the kidneys. • Cancer, especially non-Hodgkin lymphoma. But glyphosate is the world’s most widely applied chemical, with farmers using it every day in the US. The EPA was even forced to withdraw its safety determination on glyphosate last year, after a court ruling said the agency ignored advice from scientific advisors. We need to protect our communities from the terrible health risks associated with glyphosate exposure, especially those most vulnerable, like young people and pregnant women. Input from you can help us formulate our plans more effectively and show Big Ag that Americans don’t want glyphosate sprayed on their food.
