(1) "In this paper, we have developed an argument that the
alarming rise in the incidence of celiac disease in the
United States and elsewhere in recent years is due to an
increased burden of herbicides, particularly glyphosate
exposure in the diet."
(2) "A recent estimate suggests that one in twenty people
in North America and Western Europe suffer from celiac
disease (Koning, 2005; Fasano et al., 2003)."
(3) "Table 2 summarizes our findings relating glyphosate
to celiac disease. All of the known biological effects of
glyphosate – cytochrome P450 inhibition, disruption of
synthesis of aromatic amino acids, chelation of transi-
tion metals, and antibacterial action – contribute to the
pathology of celiac disease."
