TOXIC LEGACY How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment

Narrator Jill Smith gently expresses author Stephanie Seneff's feelings of loss as she recounts how her grandfather was found dead next to an open bag of DDT. Such emotion pops up again throughout Seneff's discussion of health problems relating to the herbicide Roundup and its active ingredient, glyphosate. These range from interference with gut bacteria to effects on children's brain development. Smith keeps the author's personal connection and concern in listeners' minds. There's quite a bit of chemistry involved. When Seneff asks, "Are you still with me," listeners might shake their heads. Smith's tone turns upbeat at the end as Seneff shares the changes we can make, such as eating less industrially farmed food and more food from gardens and farmers markets.
