French Babies Born Without Limbs! Some Blame Chemical Pesticides
According to The Guardian, France has launched a nationwide investigation into babies born with missing upper limbs after the discovery of nearly a dozen new suspected cases.
An investigation by Santé Publique France, the national health agency, published at the beginning of October, suggested the number of babies born with these abnormalities in the Loire-Atlantique and Brittany regions constituted worrying clusters.
News of the national investigation has vindicated the work of Remera, the publicly funded organisation that has documented and researched cases in the Rhône-Alpes region, including Ain. It had ruled out genetic malformations as well as drug- or alcohol-related causes after speaking to the affected parents and their doctors.
Researchers say the only common factor in the cases was that the infants’ parents lived in rural areas, throwing suspicion on pesticides and environmental factors.
