Scientist argues that “glyphosate” will lead to autism in 50% of children by 2025
The excessive use of agrotoxins in our food causes illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, among others.
Confirming an upward trend in rates of autism cases, a senior research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has sounded the alarm on the issue. According to her, an unsettling 50% of children will be autistic by 2025.
What’s the culprit? RoundUp, Monsanto’s highest-selling product containing glyphosate, is at the top of the list.
Excessive application of glyphosate in our food is causing diseases such as Alzheimer’s, autism, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and nutritional deficiencies, among others.
Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D, a published biologist with more than 170 peer-reviewed academic articles and more than three decades of experience studying these diseases, has singled out GMOs as one of the main contributors to neurological diseases in children.
In a recent conference, Dr. Seneff stated, “At the current rate, in 2025 1 in 2 children will be autistic.”
Currently, 1 in every 68 children in the US is born with autism. It is the most rapidly growing developmental disorder, with rates up almost 120% since the year 2000.
In 10 years, the cost to treat people affected by autism will be some $400 billion per year in the US, not including the incalculable emotional costs, which families must pay daily to live and support a child with autism.
Dr. Seneff noted that the symptoms of glyphosate toxicity closely resemble those of autism. In the conference, she went on to present data that show a strangely consistent correlation between the use of RoundUp on farms (and the breeding of transgenic “RoundUp Ready” seeds) and the rise in rates of autism.
The correlation between glyphosate toxicity and autism includes biomarkers such as zinc and iron deficiencies, low serum sulfate levels, convulsions and mitochondrial diseases.
