Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the widely used herbicide Roundup, has come under scrutiny for its potential impacts on human health and the environment. This article explores the findings of ten studies that investigate various aspects of glyphosate exposure, ranging from its potential link to breast cancer to its effects on sperm quality, mitochondrial function, and the behavior of freshwater fish species.

1. Glyphosate and Breast Cancer:

The study by Thongprakaisang et al. (2013) examined the impact of glyphosate on human breast cancer cells, revealing that the herbicide induces cell growth via estrogen receptors. This suggests a potential connection between glyphosate exposure and the development or progression of breast cancer, raising concerns about its impact on human health.

2. Acute Exposure and Reproductive Effects:

Cassault-Meyer et al. (2014) investigated the effects of acute exposure to a glyphosate-based herbicide on aromatase levels in the testis and…
