Your Brain On Glyphosate w. Dr. Stephanie Seneff (ep 42)

Last Updated:

Key Information

Glyphosate kills beneficial bacteria in the gut

Glyphosate disrupts the balance of the gut microbiome by killing bifidobacteria and lactobacillus, which are essential for digestion and immunity.

Glyphosate interferes with sulfur metabolism

Glyphosate depletes sulfur from the body, which is needed for many biological processes, such as detoxification, antioxidant production, and neurotransmitter synthesis.

Glyphosate is linked to various diseases and disorders

Glyphosate has been associated with increased risk of cancer, autoimmune diseases, neurological problems, hormonal imbalances, and more.

Glyphosate is pervasive in the environment and food supply

Glyphosate is widely used on crops, especially genetically modified ones, and can contaminate water, soil, air, and food.

Who Is Stephanie Seneff

Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. She has a BS degree from MIT in biology and a PhD from MIT in electrical engineering and computer science.   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, and the mineral, sulfur. Since 2008, she has authored over three dozen peer-reviewed journal papers on these topics.  She is writing a book on glyphosate, titled “Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment,” which is expected to be released by Chelsea Green publishers on July 1 2021. She has recently become fascinated with the role of deuterium (heavy hydrogen) in health and disease, and the potential benefits of deuterium-depleted water to healing.
