Research shows RoundUp (glyphosate) can cause fatty liver.

Pesticide residues in food can raise the risk of fatty liver disease. The popular weedkiller RoundUp, which is used all over the world by agriculture and home gardeners causes liver damage and fatty liver in rats at the low doses that are permitted by regulators. This finding has led some researchers to speculate that RoundUp residues (found in the food nearly all of us eat)  may raise the risk of not only non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but also obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance (Syndrome X).

RoundUp is the brand name of glyphosate. It is a broad-spectrum herbicide and has been around since the mid 70s. Government regulators officially classify it as safe, but there is enormous controversy surrounding this issue, and a great deal of research has revealed its toxicity. There is a strong correlation between RoundUp and cancer, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In March 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer stated that glyphosate is a “probable human carcinogen.”

A study linking RoundUp with fatty liver was published in the journal Nature. The study was led by Dr Michael Antoniou at King’s College London and evaluated the molecular composition of the livers of female rats who were given an extremely low dose of glyphosate weedkiller for a two year period. The dose used in the study was thousands of times below what is permitted by regulators worldwide. Specifically, the glyphosate quantity was 75,000 times below EU and 437,500 below U.S. permitted levels. The rats developed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Dr Antoniou made the following poignant statement: “The findings of our study are very worrying as they demonstrate for the first time a causative link between an environmentally relevant level of Roundup consumption over the long-term and a serious disease – namely non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Our results also suggest that regulators should reconsider the safety evaluation of glyphosate-based herbicides.”

The incidence of fatty liver is exploding all over the world. Diets high in sugar and processed vegetable oil certainly play a large part in causing this disease, but there are other risk factors most people don’t know about. If you want to learn how you can reverse fatty liver, this information should help you. Roundup residues are so widespread throughout the food chain and it’s impossible to avoid this chemical completely. Now that you know it can harm your liver, please avoid using it in your garden.

If organic food is available and affordable in your area, it would benefit you to purchase it. If you have some land of your own, growing some of your own vegetables and herbs would be ideal. Making your own raw vegetable juices would significantly improve the health of your liver if it is fatty.

If you have been diagnosed with a fatty liver please take it seriously. If your liver is fatty your metabolism will not function properly. You may find it impossible to lose weight, you can become insulin resistant, and your energy level will be low. Long term, fatty liver disease raises the risk of type 2 diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, and liver cancer.

LivaTone Plus powder was developed by Sandra Cabot MD. It contains 420 mg of pure silymarin derived from St Mary’s thistle per daily dose. This is the dose that has been shown to be effective in clinical trials. St Mary’s thistle is combined with all the B group vitamins and the important antioxidants Vitamin C, Vitamin E and selenium. Livatone Plus also contains the amino acid taurine which plays an important role in healthy liver and gallbladder function.

This unique combination of liver herbs provides fuel for the liver’s metabolic processes. These include burning fat, detoxification and filtering impurities out of the blood, along with the hundreds of other functions your liver performs every minute to keep you healthy.
