Nitrate in maternal drinking water associated with fetal growth restriction
Women whose household drinking water contained nitrate had babies that weighed, on average, 10 grams less than babies born to mothers where household water had no detectible nitrate, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago and Aarhus University.
The study, which is published in the journal
Environmental Health Perspectives, followed pregnant women living in Denmark. The researchers found that even low nitrate levels about half of the allowable level set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA caused an adverse effect.

Glyphosate and Roundup disturb gut microbiome and blood biochemistry at doses that regulators claim to be safe Details
New study reveals evidence for potential cancer-causing damage. Report: Claire Robinson
Glyphosate and the glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup disrupt the gut microbiome by the same mechanism by which the chemical acts as a weedkiller, and these effects happen even at low doses that regulators claim to be safe, a newly published study has found.[1]
The new study was conducted by an international team of scientists based in London, France, Italy, and the Netherlands, led by Dr Michael Antoniou of King’s College London. It is published today in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
