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 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. ?A game-changer that we would be foolish to ignore.? ?

TheSilent Spring of our time
Everyone should read this book. It’s about our future health and the health of the planet. What issue could be more important than that? Patrick Holden, founder and chief executive, Sustainable Food Trust
Comparisons will be made to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring―and they should be...A game-changer that we would be foolish to ignore. Kirkus Starred Review
From an MIT scientist, mounting evidence that the active ingredient in the world's most commonly used weedkiller is responsible for debilitating chronic diseases, including cancer, liver disease and more
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.
Agrichemical 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, MIT senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff, PhD presents stunning evidence based on countless published, peer-reviewed studies that glyphosate plays a major role in skyrocketing rates of chronic diseases, including cancer, gut dysbiosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autism, infertility and more. Dr. Seneff describes glyphosate's unique mechanism of toxicity that slowly erodes human health over time, as well as its impact on soil, ecosystems and the nutritional quality of the nation's food supply.
As Rachel Carson did with DDT in the 1960's, Stephanie Seneff sounds the alarm on glyphosate, giving you essential information to protect your health, your family's health and the planet on which we all depend.

About the Author
Stephanie Seneff is a senior research scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. She has a bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in food and nutrition, and a master's degree, an engineer's degree, and a PhD in electrical engineering and computer science, all from MIT. For most of her career at MIT she was involved in the development of technology to support natural human-computer communication through spoken language. Since 2010, Dr. Seneff has shifted her research focus toward the effects of drugs, toxic chemicals, and diet on human health and disease, and she has written and spoken extensively, articulating her view on these subjects. She has authored over three dozen peer-reviewed journal papers on topics relating human disease to nutritional deficiencies and toxic exposures. She has focused specifically on the herbicide glyphosate and the mineral sulfur. Dr. Seneff splits her time equally between two homes-one in Kauai, Hawaii, and the other in Winchester, Massachusetts.
