Pesticides Tied to Increased Prostate Cancer Risk in Men
A recent study published in the journal Cancer links 22 pesticides, including those found in popular weed killers like Roundup, to an increased risk of prostate cancer, with four associated with higher mortality rates. This research follows a $2.25 billion court ruling against Bayer AG, the maker of Roundup, for causing cancer. The study highlights the potential health risks of pesticides, many of which have not been previously associated with prostate cancer, and underscores the importance of early detection and treatment.
