The "Silent Spring" of our time: scientific evidence that the active ingredient in the world's most commonly used herbicide is responsible for a host of debilitating chronic diseases Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, the most commonly used herbicide in the world. The United States uses more of it, per capita, than any other country. Nearly 300 million pounds of glyphosate-based herbicides are sprayed on American farms--and food--every year. Agrichemical 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 The Glyphosate Effect, MIT senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff, PhD presents compelling evidence based on countless published, peer-reviewed studies that
