Summary:
"The landmark book about the
toxicity
of
everyday
life
, updated, revised and re-issued for its 10th anniversary, along with the experiments from Smith and Lourie's second book, Toxin Toxout. It's amazing
how
little can change in a decade. In 2009, a book transformed the way we see
our
frying pans, thermometers and tuna sandwiches. Daily
life
was bathing us in countless toxins that accumulated in
our
tissues, were passed on to
our
children and damaged
our
health
. To expose the extent of this toxification, environmentalists Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie offered themselves to science and undertook a series of over a dozen experiments to briefly raise their personal levels of mercury, BPA, Teflon and other pollutants. The ease with which ordinary activities caused dangerous levels to build in their bodies was a wake-up call, and readers all over the world responded. But did government regulators and corporations? Ten years later, there is good news. But not much. Concise, shocking, practical and hopeful, this new combined edition of one of the most important books ever published about green living will put the nasty stuff back where it belongs: on the national agenda and out of
our
bodies."--From publisher.
