Synopsis

This book explains how to identify carcinogens and other toxic ingredients on product labels, boycott such products, and shop for safe alternatives from non-mainstream industries. This is critical as we are losing the winnable war against cancer, which now strikes nearly one in two men and more than one in three women in their lifetimes, and as the increasing incidence of allergies and hormonal diseases is now recognized.
