Description
Dr. Leonardo Trasande reveals the alarming truth about how hormone-disrupting chemicals are affecting our daily lives. These chemicals, lurking in our homes, offices, and food, are making us sicker, fatter, and poorer. The author, a pediatrician and world-renowned researcher, exposes the chemicals that disrupt our hormonal systems and damage our health in irreparable ways.
Dr. Trasande outlines dramatic studies and emerging evidence about the rapid increases in neurodevelopmental, metabolic, reproductive, and immunological diseases directly related to the hundreds of thousands of chemicals we are exposed to every day. He shows us where these chemicals hide and the workings of policy that protects their continued use. This book provides a blend of narrative, scientific detective work, and concrete information about the connections between chemicals and disease.
Through his work, Dr. Trasande shows us what we can do to protect ourselves and our families in the short-term, and how we can help bring about the change we deserve. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone concerned about the impact of chemicals on their health and wellbeing.
