This book takes a look at how all the synthetic chemicals in our world are affecting human health. The author looks at food and modern medicine, as well as some other chemicals in the environment, such as plastics and other chemicals in our houses (carpets, furniture, etc.). He also talks about organic foods and alternative/natural medicines and what you can do to mitigate the chemicals in your body. This was very interesting. A lot of it I have read/heard before, but this just reinforces those things. Me, I've already started to eat more organic foods and I have also recently started seeing a naturopath, so I hope those things will help, but there is plenty more I could be doing. Our world is so inundated with so many chemicals, it's impossible to get rid of them all. There are so many startling statistics, and (one of) the scary things is that chemicals are not being tested before being put out there as being safe. The onus is the other way around – to be taken out of circulation, they need to be proven harmful after they've already been out there. There's so much information in this book and it really is very interesting. Definitely worth reading to learn more about what is happening and what can be done to try to minimize the effects. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
In a devastating exposé in the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation, investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago, when Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drug Act, Americans were promised "better living through chemistry." Fitzgerald provides overwhelming evidence to shatter this myth, and many others perpetrated by the chemical, pharmaceutical, and processed foods industries. Consider this: · The average American carries a "body burden" of 700 synthetic chemicals; · Chemicals in tap water can cause reproductive abnormalities and hermaphroditic birth; · One study of lactating women found perchlorate (a toxic component of rocket fuel) in practically every mother's breast milk. In the face of this national health crisis, Fitzgerald presents informed and practical suggestions for what we can do to turn the tide and live healthier lives.
