Toxic Legacy by Dr. Stephanie Seneff

Stephanie Seneff, PhD, is an MIT scientist. Her new book “Toxic Legacy” is an exposé of the world’s most common weedkiller – and its role in skyrocketing rates of chronic diseases, including autism, liver disease, and more. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup. Nearly 300 million pounds of glyphosate-based herbicide are sprayed on farms – and food – every year in the US. Agrichemical companies claim this weedkiller is safe. But mounting evidence, and several highly publicized landmark legal cases, tell a very different story. In “Toxic Legacy” Dr. Seneff, gives us the science, including:

  • Glyphosate’s unique and insidious mechanism of toxicity
  • How glyphosate disrupts the microbiome, leading to gut dysbiosis, autoimmunity, neurodegeneration, and more
  • Why we’re also 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

“‘Toxic Legacy’ will stand shoulder to shoulder with Rachel Carson’s ‘Silent Spring,’ not just defining the pervasive threat to us and future generations, but more importantly, articulating what we can do right now to change our destiny. Unquestionably, one of the most important books of our time” says David Perlmutter, MD, author, #1 New York Times bestseller, “Grain Brain.”

Dr. Seneff’s book will be released June 24, 2021.
