Common Herbicide Tied to Brain Inflammation and Cognitive Risks

A study by Arizona State University and TGen reveals that even low levels of glyphosate, a common herbicide, can lead to brain inflammation and cognitive decline in mice, raising concerns about its long-term safety. The research highlights the potential risks of glyphosate exposure, particularly in agricultural settings, and its association with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. The findings suggest a need for stricter monitoring and further research to assess the public health impact and explore safer alternatives.
