Named a "Best Book of the Year" by Kirkus Reviews
"Urgent and eye-opening, the book serves as a loud-and-clear
alarm."―The Boston Globe
Named an "Outstanding Academic Title" by Choice
From an MIT scientist, mounting evidence that the active ingredient in
the world's most commonly used weedkiller is contributing to
skyrocketing rates of chronic disease.
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, the most commonly used
weedkiller in the world. Over 300 million pounds of glyphosate-based
herbicide are sprayed on farms―and food―every year.
Agrochemical companies claim that glyphosate is safe for humans,
animals, and the environment. But emerging scientific research on
glyphosate's deadly disruption of the gut microbiome, its crippling
effect on protein synthesis, and its impact on the body's ability to use
and transport sulfur―not to mention several landmark legal cases―tells a
very different story.
In Toxic Legacy, senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff, PhD,
delivers compelling evidence based on countless published, peer-reviewed
studies―all in frank, illuminating, and always accessible language.
As Rachel Carson did with DDT in the 1960's with Silent Spring, Seneff
sounds the alarm on glyphosate, giving you guidance on simple changes
you can make right now and essential information you need to protect
your health, your family's health, and the planet on which we all
depend.
