Contains over 200 peer reviewed reports across 224 pages. We’re surrounded by chemicals all day, all the time, and our bodies are literally attacked all day, every day—not just by all sorts of bacteria but by the invisible environmental chemicals we all come into contact with. From automotive exhaust, perfumes, colognes and soaps, the unseen industrial pollution in the air we breathe, the indoor dust we’re constantly surrounded by and even the food we eat—these are all contaminated with various neurotoxins, obesogens, mutagens, genotoxins, endocrine disruptors and carcinogens from flame retardants, Bispehnol analogues (A,B,S,F,AF), Pharmaceutical And Personal Care breakdown products and transformation products, and 100s of other massively produced chemicals that are now environmentally ubiquitous.The peer review is clear, even the food is contaminated with industrial chemicals like Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers and Persistent Organic Pollutants. Yet we all have, we hope, an active and robust immune system, an effective internal supply of antioxidants and other functional systems within our bodies that fight these attacks appropriately every moment of every day. If we didn’t we’d be sick all the time, or worse. That doesn’t mean these various 100s of chemicals won’t eventually make us sick, and some of us are more susceptible than others, so we should all be aware of them and work proactively to avoid contact and mitigate our exposures and that of our children. Here we fully explore this wide variety of chemicals, their effects on the human body and mitigation techniques.
