Roundup Causes Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease at Very Low Doses
In recent newsletter articles I have discussed the significant growing health issue of NAFLD – Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease which is now present in approximately 25% of the general population.
From the website: GMWatch.org:
“Risk factors for NAFLD include being overweight or obese, having diabetes, or having high cholesterol or high triglycerides (a constituent of body fat) in the blood. However, some people develop NAFLD even if they do not have any of these known risk factors.
Symptoms of NAFLD include fatigue, weakness, weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, spider-like blood vessels, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), itching, fluid build-up and swelling of the legs and abdomen, and mental confusion”.
Excessive consumption of sugar – especially fructose can also contribute to the development of NAFLD.
Another potential cause of the dramatic increase in the incidence of NAFLD in the general population is exposure to glyphosate, present in the herbicide Roundup:
From the same article mentioned above from GMWatch.org:
Roundup causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease at very low doses
“The weedkiller Roundup causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease at very low doses permitted by regulators worldwide, a new peer-reviewed study shows. The study is the first ever to show a causative link between consumption of Roundup at a real-world environmentally relevant dose and a serious disease”.
