"Toxic Legacy" is a groundbreaking book that has been named a "Best Book of the Year" by Kirkus Reviews. The book serves as a loud-and-clear alarm, highlighting the mounting evidence that the active ingredient in the world's most commonly used weedkiller, glyphosate, is contributing to skyrocketing rates of chronic disease. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, the most widely used weedkiller in the world. Each year, over 300 million pounds of glyphosate-based herbicide are sprayed on farms and food. Agrochemical companies claim that glyphosate is safe for humans, animals, and the environment. However, 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, among other factors, tells a very different story.

In "Toxic Legacy," senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., presents compelling evidence based on countless published, peer-reviewed studies. The book is written in frank, illuminating, and always accessible language, making it accessible to a wide audience. Similar to Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" in the 1960s, Seneff sounds the alarm on glyphosate, providing guidance on simple changes individuals can make right now to protect their health, the health of their families, and the planet on which we all depend.

"Toxic Legacy" has received widespread praise from experts and reviewers alike. Kirkus Reviews described it as a "game-changer that we would be foolish to ignore," while The Boston Globe praised it as "urgent and eye-opening." David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Grain Brain," called it "undoubtedly, one of the most important books of our time." Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author of "The Blood Sugar Solution," also praised the book, stating that it will change the way we all think about food.

The impact of glyphosate on human health and the environment is a pressing concern that requires immediate attention. "Toxic Legacy" provides a comprehensive and evidence-based analysis of the risks associated with glyphosate exposure. By raising awareness about the dangers of this widely used herbicide, Seneff hopes to inspire individuals and communities to take action to protect their health and the environment.

In conclusion, "Toxic Legacy" is a must-read book for anyone who is concerned about the health of themselves, their families, and the planet. The book's compelling evidence, accessible language, and important message make it a game-changer in the fight against chronic disease and environmental degradation. By taking action and making informed choices, we can create a healthier and more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.
