On the one hand, it’s nice to know that many products I purchase have known carcinogens: Colgate toothpaste, Pantene shampoo, Cover Girl makeup, Halibut from California, cashews, sesame seeds, anti-perspirant, Clairol hair dye, etc. Unfortunately, I have never heard of the recommended alternatives, and they are unavailable at any store, ie: Logona, Ecco Bella, Aloegen Biogenics, Paul Penders cosmetics, etc. What is a person to do?
The authors of this book are doing us a favour by making us aware of how toxic these everyday items are, but does little to help the consumer who does not live in an area where alternatives are readily available. The real question is why our governments are allowing these companies to poison us. It’s truly depressing.

Very interesting information and useful. I feel it could have included more natural products and not just a couple that the author chose to push.

This is a very good reference to have on hand. It very specifically tells you what chemicals and pesticides are in various products so you can make choices. You can use it to choose better if you don’t go the whole organic route.
