Dr Stephanie Seneff – The Toxic Legacy of Glyphosate

How can one chemical, glyphosate, can be a causal factor in so many diseases?

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the pervasive weedkiller Roundup. It is the most widely-used herbicide in the world, and the United States uses more per capita than any other country. The United States also faces a healthcare crisis with alarmingly rising rates of diabetes, obesity, autism, Alzheimer’s, infertility and cancer.  In this talk, I will argue that glyphosate is a primary factor in the declining health of our population. I will also provide evidence that glyphosate is disrupting the entire ecosystem, from water fleas to bees to deer, pigs and humans. I propose a unique mechanism of toxicity of glyphosate based on its effects as an amino acid analogue of glycine. I will also provide specific information on how to maintain good health and ameliorate glyphosate’s harmful effects.
