Toxic Legacy : How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment

**Named a "Best Book of the Year" by __Kirkus Reviews__** **"__Toxic Legacy__ will stand shoulder to shoulder with Rachel Carson’s __Silent Spring__. [This is] unquestionably, one of the most important books of our time."―David Perlmutter, MD, #1 __New York Times__ bestselling author of __Grain Brain__ and __Brain Wash__** **"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 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. Nearly 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. **Throughout __Toxic Legacy__ readers will discover:** * The uniquely toxic nature of glyphosate * How glyphosate disrupts the microbiome, leading to gut dysbiosis, autoimmunity, neurodegeneration, and more * Why we’re seeing a rise in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, infertility, depression, and anxiety * Glyphosate’s role in soil degeneration, water contamination, and threats to wildlife and biodiversity * Important nutritional guidance for conscientious consumers who want to avoid glyphosate-contaminated foods and improve their health As Rachel Carson did with DDT in the 1960’s, Stephanie Seneff sounds the alarm on glyphosate, giving you guidance on simple, powerful 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. **"A game-changer that we would be foolish to ignore."―__Kirkus Reviews__(starred)** Named a "Best Book of the Year" by Kirkus Reviews " Toxic Legacy will stand shoulder to shoulder with Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring .
