“Celiac disease, and, more generally, gluten intolerance, is a
growing problem worldwide, but especially in North America and Europe,
where an estimated 5% of the population now suffers from it,”
researchers wrote in a meta-analysis of nearly 300 studies.
“Here, we propose that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide, Roundup®, is the most important causal factor in this epidemic,” they add.
The study, published in the journal Interdisciplinary Toxicology in 2013, was completely ignored by the media except for Mother Earth News and The Healthy Home Economist.
Now that glyphosate is getting the attention it deserves, being named as the culprit in a $280 million cancer lawsuit
and labeled as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization and the
state of California, it may be time to look at the chemical’s role in a
related disease:
The symptoms of so-called “gluten intolerance” and celiac disease in
are shockingly similar to the symptoms in lab animals exposed to
glyphosate, argue the study’s authors Anthony Samsel,
an independent scientist who’s served as a consultant to the EPA on
arsenic pollution and to the U.S. Coast Guard on chemical hazard
response, and Stephanie Seneff, a senior research scientist at MIT.
