Named a “Best Book of the Year” by Kirkus Reviews and an "Outstanding Academic Title" by Choice, this work presents alarming evidence from an MIT scientist that the active ingredient in the world’s most widely used weedkiller is linked to rising rates of chronic disease. Glyphosate, found in Roundup, is applied in excess of 300 million pounds annually on farms and food. While agrochemical companies assert its safety for humans, animals, and the environment, emerging research reveals glyphosate's detrimental effects on the gut microbiome, protein synthesis, and sulfur transport in the body. The author, senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff, PhD, provides compelling evidence from numerous peer-reviewed studies in clear and accessible language. Echoing Rachel Carson’s warnings about DDT in the 1960s, Seneff raises awareness about glyphosate and offers actionable advice for protecting personal health, family well-being, and environmental sustainability. Critics praise this work as transformative and essential, emphasizing its importance in reshaping our understanding of food and health. This book is a crucial resource for anyone concerned about the impact of glyphosate on health and the planet.
