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
From an MIT scientist, mounting evidence that the active ingredient in the worlds 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 glyphosates deadly disruption of the gut microbiome, its crippling effect on protein synthesis and its impact on the bodys 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 1960s 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 familys health and the planet on which we all depend.
A game-changer that we would be foolish to ignore. Kirkus Reviews (starred)
