Episode 129: Glyphosate, Autoimmune & America’s Cancer Belt

Could one of the most widely used herbicides in America be connected to rising rates of cancer? In this episode, we explore the growing body of research surrounding glyphosate, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, and cancer rates across the United States.We take a closer look at Iowa and other agricultural states, where heavy glyphosate use overlaps with elevated rates of certain cancers, and discuss what researchers have found about glyphosate exposure and blood cancers. We also examine CDC biomonitoring data showing how widespread glyphosate exposure is among Americans, including children.You’ll learn about the potential mechanisms researchers are investigating, including oxidative stress, DNA damage, immune dysfunction, inflammation, and gut microbiome disruption, and why reducing unnecessary pesticide exposure may be an important part of a long-term approach to health.In this episode:Glyphosate use across the United StatesIowa, agricultural regions, and cancer ratesGlyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphomaThe research on glyphosate and leukemiaCDC findings on glyphosate exposure in adults and childrenHow glyphosate may contribute to oxidative stress and inflammationPotential effects on the gut microbiome and immune systemPractical ways to reduce everyday pesticide exposureIf you've ever wondered how environmental chemicals may influence cancer risk, immune health, and chronic disease, this episode is for you.Save 15-30% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLAClearly Filtered water filters (code CFPartner for 10% off): https://get.aspr.app/SH1oJ3 Beef organ sticks and beef tallow(code 'MARLA'): https://lineageprovisions.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contact
