More than 55% of sperm samples from a French infertility clinic contained high levels of glyphosate, raising questions about its impact on reproductive health. Researchers found evidence of impacts on DNA and a correlation between glyphosate levels and oxidative stress, suggesting significant effects on fertility.
Glyphosate, the world's most common weedkiller, may negatively affect human reproductive health and progeny as per the study. This comes amid concerns over dropping global fertility rates, with toxic chemical exposure suspected as a major contributor.
French researchers discovered glyphosate levels in sperm samples were four times higher than in blood, indicating heightened risk to reproductive systems. Glyphosate, commonly used on food crops and in the US, particularly in products like Roundup, has faced legal battles and health concerns.
Oxidative stress, indicated in the study, is crucial in regulating male fertility by influencing sperm vitality and functionality. The significant positive correlation found between glyphosate levels and oxidative stress underlines potential dangers to reproductive health.
