A study published December 13, 2024 documented how the herbicide atrazine causes neurological destruction resulting in the effective aging of brain cells.
“Atrazine (AT), a widely utilized chemical herbicide, causes widespread contamination of agricultural water bodies. Recently, exposure to AT has been linked to the development of age-related neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), suggesting its neurotoxicity potential,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
Atrazine garnered fame following Alex Jones discussing its endocrine system-disrupting nature, causing amphibians such as frogs to turn gay.
“As an endocrine disruptor, AT targets the hypothalamus, a crucial part of the neuroendocrine system,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
The researchers documented that atrazine does indeed damage a key region of the brain.
“Our results indicated that AT exposure caused significant morphological and structural damage to the hypothalamus, leading to the loss of mature and intact neurons and microglial activation,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
This damage is exhibited with senescence (the condition or result of aging).
“AT induces senescence in these recruited HtNSCs by activating integrated stress response signaling. This consequently hinders the repair of damaged neurons by inhibiting HtNSC proliferation and differentiation,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section. “Overall, our findings underscore the pivotal role of the integrated stress response pathway in AT-induced HtNSC senescence and hypothalamic damage.”
Neurodegenerative diseases in general have been linked to atrazine by the researchers.
“Additionally, the present study offers novel perspectives to understand the mechanisms of AT-induced neurotoxicity and provides preliminary evidence linking AT contamination to the development of NDs,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
“I don’t like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the freakin frogs gay,” Jones said after documenting the scientific evidence.
Alex Jones’ got the documents.
“Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults. Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs,” the gay frog study said in the ‘Abstract’ section. “Atrazine-exposed males suffered from depressed testosterone, decreased breeding gland size, demasculinized/feminized laryngeal development, suppressed mating behavior, reduced spermatogenesis, and decreased fertility. These data are consistent with effects of atrazine observed in other vertebrate classes.”
Herbicide’s figurative cousin, pesticide, has been linked to cancers in those who live around its application and the levels are increasing, yet washing fruit doesn’t remove it.
