Wow. Glyphosate (RoundUp) had little impact on the transiently exposed F0 generation or F1 offspring rats. But in the F2 and F3 generations, it dramatically increased prostate disease, obesity, kidney disease, ovarian disease, and birth abnormalities. Kubsad et al. Sci Rep.
Shows that BPA has the potential to increase self-renewal of adipose tissue macrophages, perhaps negatively impact adipose tissue health. Ampem et al. Cell Tissue Res.
The data suggest that currently applicable tolerable levels of PFOS in commercial goods should be re-evaluated, taking into account its potential effects on lipid metabolism and the immune system. Martínez et al. Sci Total Environ.
Found that exposure to PFOA or PFOS aggravated diabetic kidney injury in vitro. Gong et al. Sci Total Environ.
Air Pollution
Storm-induced maternal stress, nitrogen oxides exposure, traffic noise, and proximity were associated with greater childhood adiposity. Particulate matter exposure was associated with both higher and lower adiposity in childhood. Wilding et al. Obes Rev.
Diet and the Gut
Reviews studies on the different modes of action and outcomes of major chemical pollutants, and some components of cosmetics and food additives, on gut microbial communities. Found that exposure to heavy metals, pesticides, nanoparticles, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, furans, polychlorinated biphenyls, and non-caloric artificial sweeteners affect the gut microbiome, and which is associated with the development of metabolic, malignant, inflammatory, and immune diseases.
