Glyphosate, pathways to modern diseases II

Some have suggested that the recent surge in celiac
disease is simply due to better diagnostic tools. However,
a recent study tested frozen sera obtained between 1948
and 1954 for antibodies to gluten, and compared the
results with sera obtained from a matched sample from
people living today (Rubio-Topiaet al., 2009).
They identified a four-fold increase in the incidence of celiac disease
in the newer cohort compared to the older one. They also
determined that undiagnosed celiac disease is associated with a 4-fold increased risk of death, mostly due to
increased cancer risk. They concluded that the prevalence
of undiagnosed celiac disease has increased dramatically
in the United States during the past 50 years.

Since someone from MIT was part of this, I'm really inclined to believe it. Might be the reason why Dr. Dao's taking gluten away from me helped me a lot.

GMOs are also mentioned in the report:

Glyphosate was proposed as a possible factor in
the increased risk to Clostridium botulinum infection
in cattle in Germany over the past ten to fifteen years
(Krüger et al., 2013b). Pigs fed GMO corn and soy developed
widespread intestinal inflammation that may have
been due in part to glyphosate exposure (Carman et al.,2013).

According to official records, there has been a recent
4-fold increase in developmental malformations in the
province of Chaco, Argentina, where glyphosate is used
massively on GMO monocrops of soybeans (Carrasco,
2013). In Paraguay, 52 cases of malformations were
reported in the offspring of women exposed during pregnancy to
agrochemicals, including anencephaly, microcephaly,
facial defects, cleft palate, ear malformations,
polydactily, and syndactily (Benítez-Leite et al., 2009). In
in vitro studies on human cell lines, DNA strand breaks,
plasma membrane damage and apoptosis were observed
following exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides
(Gasnier et al., 2009). Another factor in teratogenetic
effects of glyphosate may be the suppression of the activity
of androgen-to-estrogen conversion by aromatase, a CYP enzyme (Gasnier et al., 2009).
