Synopsis

The toxic consumer
How to reduce your exposure to everyday toxic chemicals

The number of man-made chemicals in everyday consumer products is on the increase and it is no longer controversial to claim that many are toxic and compromise our health and yet we are unwittingly and constantly exposed to them. All of us have toxic chemicals in us, even new-born babies.

Synthetic chemicals found in everyday life are implicated in a staggering range of health and environmental issues including impaired neurological development in children, birth defects, lower sperm counts, rising rates of testicular and other cancers and increased incidences of diabetes, allergies and attention deficit disorders.

The Toxic Consumer presents the facts about the chemicals that surround us in
our 21st Century lifestyles, and provides easy-to-follow practical advice on how to minimise your exposure.
