Can herbicides cause breast cancer? Purdue and INSERM scientists discover a piece to the puzzle.
September 30, 2019
Scientists at Purdue University and France’s Institut de Cancérologie de L’Ouest (ICO) have discovered that glyphosate, the primary ingredient in some widely used herbicides and pesticides, can lead to breast cancer under certain conditions. The discovery is another step forward when it comes to determining how cancer starts, and how it can be prevented.
