Glyphosate Hacks Hormones of Baby Girls after Exposure in the Womb – New Groundbreaking Pilot Study

Posted on Apr 7 2021 - 2:22pm by Sustainable Pulse

A group of international scientists from the U.S. and EU have released a peer-reviewed pilot study that suggests the anogenital distance of baby girls is becoming more male-typical, due to their mothers being exposed to glyphosate when they are in the womb.

The Study, which was published on Monday, in the well-respected Elsevier peer-reviewed Journal ‘Environmental Pollution’, is a major breakthrough in our understanding of glyphosate as a hormone hacker (endocrine disruptor).

Prof. Shanna Swan and Prof. Jia Chen, who are two of the Study authors and are both Professors at Department of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, sent the statement below to Sustainable Pulse;

“In this pilot (N=100), we examined the concentration of glyphosate and its breakdown product (AMPA) in urine collected in mid-pregnancy in relation to anogenital distance at birth. We found that higher exposure to these pesticide-derived chemicals was associated with a longer (more male-typical) anogenital distance in girls, an association we also observed in an earlier rodent study.  These preliminary findings suggest that glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor with androgenic effects in humans. Given the increasing glyphosate exposure worldwide, larger studies should evaluate glyphosate’s developmental effects on endocrine and reproductive systems.”

As highlighted by the Professors, this new human study follows on from a peer-reviewed paper released in 2019, during the pilot phase of the Global Glyphosate Study, which showed that exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides in rats was also associated with androgen-like effects, including a statistically significant increase of anogenital distance (AGD) in males and females, delay of first estrous and increased testosterone in females.

Anogenital distance, the distance between the anus and the genitals, is a sensitive marker of prenatal endocrine disruption affecting the genital tract development. Exposure to different chemicals including pesticides has been linked previously to altered AGDs and other endocrine effects.

There have also been a number of other studies that have recently revealed the damage being caused by glyphosate on reproductive health.

Glyphosate is the most used herbicide in human history. 18.9 Billion pounds (8.6 Billion Kilograms) of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) have been sprayed worldwide since 1974. Glyphosate use has also increased 15-fold since genetically modified crops were introduced in 1996.

In 2015 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a “probable human carcinogen”.

    Now all we need do is politely ask the CBC, (Central Bank Clan), to kindly have their “tools” in D.C. stop using it – Or, at the very least, do more than “fine” them a fraction of what they make by poisoning us with it…
    But I don’t see THAT happening anytime soon.

    I think this is the most scientific explaination on why LGBT population is increasing they dont give birth but are prolific, victims of endocrine disruptor pesticides.

    I agree with J.S. Saladan. If girls and young women are receiving extra testosterone from the glyphosate this could account for the increase, among other factors, for the desire to transgender, etc.

    First time seeing this connection of glyphosate and other pesticides (notably atrazine) to the LGBTQ etc situation. I posted many links on other websites several years ago (Disqus moderated mainly). Of course none of those ever made it online.
    YES YES YES that is the connection that the world refuses to see.
    Latest glyphosate connections are to biofuels and COVID cluster areas.
    These will all be huge scandals in the future, if anyone is around to notice.

    Male babies are born with no external genitals so are raised as girls. When puberty comes the body is trying to make a man. Once again mainstream medical is ignorant or they would be testing chromosomes on newborns.
