How Do GMOs Affect The Human Body?

The Problem With Glyphosate

Other studies published in the US National Library of Medicine, showed the potential health effects of a commonly used GMO, glyphosate, and how it can be an endocrine disruptor. Endocrine disruptors can result in developmental disorders, birth defects, and cancerous tumors. The research indicated glyphosate can have multiple effects in human hormone-dependent breast cancer, which could be traced back to contaminated soybean products as dietary supplements that can pose a risk of causing breast cancer due to it potential additive estrogenicity. With further digging, researchers discovered GMOs considered 'xenoestrogen,' which is a foreign estrogen that mimics real estrogen within the human body, which can lead to an increased risk of certain cancers, such as breast, early onset puberty, thyroid issues, and infertility.
