The statistics on glyphosate, the world’s most commonly used pesticide, are pretty grim. Billions of pounds have been applied globally since the 70s. In the US, though we’re only 4% of the world’s population, we use 20% of the world’s supply annually. Then, we wonder why our rates of chronic disease are so much higher than other countries. The evidence against the use of glyphosate keeps mounting, yet it’s still legally drenching our food supply. I try to be as good as I can about eating organic, high-quality food, and my glyphosate test revealed I was still in the 50th percentile. Studies have linked glyphosate to cancer, endocrine disruption, infertility, immune dysfunction, liver and kidney damage, and disruption of the microbiome. And not only is glyphosate harming human health and the health of our future generations, it’s also destroying our ecosystems.
Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy I dive into all-things glyphosate with Stephanie Seneff. Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She has a bachelor's degree from MIT in Biology with a minor in Food and Nutrition Science, and a master’s degree, an engineer’s degree, and a PhD degree, all 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 the author of a new book on glyphosate titled Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate is Destroying Our Health and the Environment (July 2021).

To know all of this at this time, when I grew up eating unhealthy because my mother didn’t know, then I raised my sons, eating the same way. Oatmeal, cow’s milk, sugar which I was addicted too from sun up to sun down. I drank a 2 liter alone didn’t share it with anyone, bought juice by the 5+ jugs for my kids.
Today my lifestyle with health at 55 and how I make conscious choices and educate myself. My sons are both healthier because of what I learned, especially my youngest. He could be a fitness instructor, but he’s in denial right now that he can help others get healthier. He told me about macros, so I started eating more. I was in a calorie deficit and didn’t realize it.
Thank you both for this information that I will add to my arsenal to improve my health.
Love Stephanie Seneff
I pray for her protection from the Nazi Oligarchies ❣
Stephanie seneff did a wonderful interview with Kerri Rivera on chlorine dioxide but it’s hard to find you may have to search using DuckDuckGo or try finding it on bitchute or brighteon. Also search kerri rivera autism one conference
WOW!! She’s amazing!!!
Another VITAL, lifesaving conversation. So disturbing to realize the depth of this horrible chemical…. Thank you both!! I will be sharing with many.
By using the Dirty Dozen or Dirty Fifteen cover all we need to know?
The problem with the Dirty Dozen/Clean Fifteen is that it doesn’t include grains and legumes (beans). Even non gmo grains and legumes along with sugar beets and sugar cane used to make processed sugar are sprayed with glyphosate at harvest to dry them out.
@dotjeff Hoepner Thanks
The WHO has labeled this as either: A likely carcinogen or probable carcinogen years ago.
No one is talking about the Cocktail Effect, because ….
Did I miss something? Who is the second speaker, nowhere did I hear her introduced or written about in the information below. Great info from Stephanie Seneff, I have been recommending her research but this is the first time seeing her speak.

@John Vito thanks
This is my all time favorite podcast. Thank you Mark Hyman, MD!
We need to find better ways of growing food so we stop poisoning everyone!
Edible Gardens, check out the company.
great work putting this info out there Mark and Steph
GREAT INFO…
Stephanie!! You are amazing. Simple to understand. I will have that book.
Thank you for this valuable education! Only through real education can citizens act effectively in a democracy to elect a government that will regulate our industries to protect public health and the environment!
What is the difference between coq10 and quercetin? Can I take both? Thanks
Do their levels indicate that the “organic” label is perhaps not very accurate?
