Researchers link glyphosate-based weedkillers to liver disease and endocrine disorders in kids

Children exposed to a weedkiller commonly used in farming, as well as on residential yards and school playgrounds, appear to be at increased risk for liver inflammation and metabolic disorders in young adulthood and more serious diseases later in life, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.

The paper was authored by 12 California scientists and health researchers — most from the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health — and is the latest of many studies linking glyphosate herbicide to human health problems.

Glyphosate is better known as the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup products as well as scores of other weedkilling brands sold around the world.
