Adverse Health Impacts of “Glyphosate"in our food supply

In her presentation entitled "Roundup: The Elephant
in the Room," Dr. Seneff outlines adverse health and
environmental effects caused by chemicals that are being applied directly to
foods we eat.  Although many of us lock away pesticides from our
children and pets, we may be unwittingly serving them a full helping of Roundup
at every meal. 

During this presentation, co-sponsored by WCPP &
Wellesley Free Library, Dr. Seneff will present compelling data from research
at MIT regarding the herbicide glyphosate and why it “may be the most
biologically disruptive chemical in our environment.” Glyphosate has been
linked to various cancers and behavioral illnesses in both children and adults
such as autism and altzheimers.

This chemical is routinely used on the foods we eat,
most notably corn and soy. Come learn more about this compelling subject
and the growing concerns surrounding agricultural practices and how they impact
our health.

Dr. Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at the MIT
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. She received the B.S.
degree in Biophysics in 1968, the M.S. and E.E. degrees in Electrical
Engineering in 1980, and the Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science in 1985, all from MIT.
