Herbicide Exposure Linked to Long-Term Brain Inflammation, Alzheimer's

New research reveals that glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, can cause lasting brain inflammation and accelerate Alzheimer's-like pathology in mice. Even short-term exposure resulted in persistent inflammatory markers and neurological damage, including anxiety-like behaviors and premature death. The study found that glyphosate's metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid, accumulates in brain tissue, raising concerns about its long-term safety for humans.
