Is a hidden molecule in your food and water silently fueling cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's? Could the supplements you trust every day be making it worse? Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a senior research scientist at MIT (published in PNAS, Frontiers, FASEB) with a career studying nutrition, biology, and toxicology. In this conversation, she explains why deuterium — a heavier form of hydrogen — may be the most underrated driver of chronic disease, why cancer might be the body's repair response to deuterium-damaged mitochondria, and why most supplements may backfire. We discuss: ◾ Why deuterium may be the most important molecule you've never heard of ◾ How glyphosate stops your body from clearing deuterium ◾ The two supplements you should stop taking immediately ◾ Why she says: "I don't believe in supplements" ◾ Why chemo may be working backwards on cancer ◾ How to make your gut produce low-deuterium water ◾ The folic-acid-in-pregnancy and autism connection ◾ Why she drinks deuterium-depleted water every day This is Dr. Seneff's second appearance on Live Longer World. Her first episode on glyphosate is linked below.
