2013 Paper 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. [4] The paper does not contain any primary research results. [4] It was criticized as pseudo-science by the science magazine Discover [5] and Jeffrey Beall, founder of Beall's List of predatory open-access publishers, said "Will MDPI publish anything for money?". [6] Beall removed MDPI from his list of predatory publishers in October 2015. [7]
In response to the controversy, the editors of Entropy added an "Expression of Concern" to the article's frontmatter. [4] In 2017 researchers Robin Mesnage and Michael N. Antoniou, [8] both of whom are working to limit the use of glyphosate, [9] said that "although evidence exists that glyphosate-based herbicides are toxic below regulatory set safety limits, the arguments of [authors] Samsel and Seneff largely serve to distract rather than to give a rational direction."
