A new rat study has found glyphosate in amniotic fluid and developmental effects extending across two generations. Researchers also found that male offspring appeared more vulnerable and that a glyphosate-based herbicide generally produced more severe effects than glyphosate alone.
ACC has revealed more about the 10 work-related gradual process claims mentioning glyphosate or Roundup that were all declined. Fewer than four involved cancer and fewer than four involved non-Hodgkin lymphoma. But the crucial question remains: why did none of the claims succeed?
For the first months of life, a breastfed baby may receive almost everything it needs from one source: its mother's milk.
We encourage breastfeeding because its benefits are well established. Breastmilk provides nutrition, antibodies and other biologically active components, and...
ACC has identified 10 work-related gradual process claims mentioning glyphosate or Roundup — and all 10 were declined. We examine how ACC assesses long-term occupational chemical exposure, what its own policies say, and the crucial questions ACC has yet to answer.
Two independent studies — one linking glyphosate exposure to preterm birth, another to disrupted pregnancy hormones — have landed within weeks of each other. Yet no New Zealand parent has any way of finding out their own exposure level. Shouldn't that change?
Following a devastating Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis, one New Zealand family began asking difficult questions about environmental exposures, regret and the uncertainty that remains. This is their story, shared with permission.
Correlation doesn't equal causation" sounds like a rule of science. It isn't — it's a caveat, turned into a conversation-ending weapon by whoever's losing the argument. NMGNZ investigates who actually reaches for that phrase, and when, tracing the same pattern from the tobacco industry's decades-long denial of the smoking-cancer link to the glyphosate debate playing out today.
Following our recent story on Canterbury's Crohn's rates, a New Zealand woman contacted us to share her family's story of cancer, illness, and a Crohn's diagnosis that came without warning — and without a hereditary explanation anyone can point...
IARC has rated glyphosate "probably carcinogenic" since 2015 — the same rating given to red meat, talc and night shift work. Three prompted swift regulatory or compensatory action. Glyphosate got a $17 million industry campaign instead, and New Zealand's EPA has never reassessed it.
Canterbury has one of the highest Crohn's disease rates ever recorded anywhere on earth — and cases have nearly tripled since 2006. New Zealand has no dedicated research programme asking whether glyphosate exposure plays a role. This investigation examines the emerging science, the regulatory gaps, and the questions nobody is asking.
