Summary
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.
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, listeners 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 1960s, 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic 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, number one New York Times best-selling author of Grain Brain and Brain Wash)
“Urgent and eye-opening, the book serves as a loud-and-clear alarm.” (The Boston Globe)
“A game-changer that we would be foolish to ignore.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred)

Excellent analysis of Glyphosate
There is much more information presented in this book than I ever imagined, however it’s very clearly set out and well written. Highly recommended for anyone who cares about the long term health of all creatures yet to be born.

Very in depth, long winded
Incredibly detailed, very technical throughout, a hard listen. Slightly condescending was the chapter on what I should be eating. This book isn't about healthy diets. Could have been far more brief. Glad this was included with Audible membership.
