Infos

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The Breast Cancer Prevention Partners organization and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics released a report in 2018 that summarized the state of affairs in the beauty, personal care, and cleaning products industry. They found that there are between 46 and 229 unique chemicals per product.#2 The phrase better living through chemistry is a perfect example of how the world was optimistic about the effects of science in the early twentieth century.#3 We have solved many of the problems from the pre-chemistry / pre-Green Revolution age, but the solutions themselves have caused new problems. We are overfed and undernourished, and we take for granted that when we turn on the water tap, out flows water that is safe and clean. But is it really safe.#4 Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a group of man-made chemicals that are commonly found in everyday items, such as cookware, food packaging, household products, and stain repellants. They are linked to low infant birth rates, negative effects on the immune system, cancer, and thyroid hormone disruption.
