Product Description
The essential reference to what's really in the products we buy.
Every day Americans eat processed food and use toiletries, cosmetics, household cleaners, gardening supplies and often pet care products of some kind. It's time to ask What's in This Stuff? The answers are shocking. This fascinating book reveals how many of the products used every day contain poorly tested chemicals that are implicated in health problems, and offers simple, nontoxic alternatives.
It explains:
- Why we are exposed to more chemicals than ever before
- The health risks of exposure to industrial chemicals in consumer products
- Which chemicals are most harmful
- Why babies in the womb and young children are especially vulnerable to toxins
- How to interpret confusing labels
- Tips for using conventional products more wisely

 outstanding and critical to health October 11, 2008
I have a masters degree from the University of Washington (research based institution) and I am also a breast cancer survivor. I started studying how to build my immune system 3 years ago and discovered some of this then: and it is great to have it in book form. This is an emerging base of public knowledge and critical to health of ourselves and our children. Buy some extra and get them out to your friends and family.

I found this book browsing in a small bookstore in Aptos, California. I was interested in finding out what is in some processed restaurant and other foods that I am finding myself sensitive to...well, my God, I had no idea what a toxic jungle of products are available for consumers to slowly poison themselves with. The book is very informative and straightforward. It is easy to locate the information you want and frankly I found it easier than searching the internet. The content is what it is and the author doesn't try to glamorize what is quite sobering information nor trivilize. A must read and act upon book!
