Описание: Named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus Reviews
Toxic Legacy will stand shoulder to shoulder with Rachel Carsons 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 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. 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 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.
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 were seeing a rise in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, infertility, depression, and anxiety
- Glyphosates 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 familys health, and the planet on which we all depend.
A game-changer that we would be foolish to ignore.--Kirkus Reviews (starred)
