About this listen
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.

“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)

Very smart lady but lots of baloney
She basically blames glyphosate on a huge range of diseases and she has some very interesting biochemical mechanisms that are good to learn about but she blames glyphosate on too many diseases and she likely knows nothing about nutrtions role in disease. For example, non-alcoholic fatty liver in livestock is blamed on glyphosate and she offers a very complex explaination but really it's easy to understand with some training in nutrition. Colin T Campbell spent a good portion of his career trying to figure out out why little kids in the Philippines were dying from liver cancer and it turned out to be related to mixed function oxidase and a mold that grew on peanuts. In animal studies, the presence of a high animal protien diet caused liver cancer to develop and when it was replaced with plant protien, it did not. Since glyphosate is an antibiotic, it kills bacteria and allows for opportunity for mold to grow. More glyphosate = more mold = more liver inflammation from aflotoxin. She also blames cancer on toxic chemicals rather than hypoxia which is the true mechanism. Otto Warburg discovered that you can change regular cells into cancer cells when you deprive them of oxygen by 30% or more and Roy Swank showed in animal studies that when you feed a person a high fat meal, you can cause blood to stick together and deprive tissues of oxygen by 30% or more by impairing flow and the effect can last for 10-15 hours. Once cancer stem cells are created by repeat hypoxia from high fat meal after high fat meal, animal protien then serves as a stimulant to tell those cells to "grow grow grow!". When the immune system becomes compromised by repeated injury and dysbiosis due to the sulfur containing of animal protien and oil's abilty to create increased intestinal permiability, cancer grows and grows and grows. Also, glyphosate does not cause heart disease, eating animals and oils does and thats been proven in 399/400 patients in Caldwell Esselstyns study on heart disease.... Good book though, super smart lady, but she really needs to get "vegucated" by authors like John McDougall, Colin T Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn, Dean Ornish, Neal Barnard etc.
