Papers on glyphosate
In 2013, Entropy published a review paper saying glyphosate may be the most important factor in the development of obesity, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer, and infertility.[3] The paper does not contain any primary research results.[3] It was criticized as pseudo-science by the science magazine Discover[4] and by Jeffrey Beall,[5] a prominent critic of open-access journals.[6] In response to the controversy, the editors of Entropy added an "Expression of Concern" to the article's frontmatter.[3]. In 2017 researchers Robin Mesnage and Michael N. Antoniou[7], both of whom are working to limit the use of glyphosate,[8] said that "although evidence exists that glyphosate-based herbicides are toxic below regulatory set safety limits, the arguments of Samsel and Seneff largely serve to distract rather than to give a rational direction."
