Summary:
"The idea that our home environment and product choices can make us sick is a powerful motivator for cleaner living. Drs. Cohen and vom Saal reveal the dangers lurking within our food, water, clothing, personal care products, household products, and cellular technology, and share practical, cost-effective tips and recommendations to battle the challenges of 'clean' living in a world without meaningful regulations. This is an important and timely guide to understanding our toxic world and what we can all do to protect our bodies from harmful exposures and the chronic health consequences." --Mark Hyman, MD." --Back cover.
