About this episode
This week we’re focusing on the importance of reducing exposure to glyphosate. It’s in the food, air, and water and it’s much more harmful than you think. Everyone is impacted but our kids are most susceptible to harm. Our guest this week is perhaps the foremost authority on this topic. Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her recent interests have focused on the role of toxic chemicals and micronutrient deficiencies in health and disease, with a special emphasis on the pervasive herbicide, glyphosate. She is the author of the book Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment which was released in 2021. While companies, mainstream media, and government agencies maintain that glyphosate is safe for humans, the science and recent jury verdicts say otherwise.
