"Fatal conveniences are the toxic products we routinely use and the unhealthy things we do that our culture and corporations have made us believe are safe and necessary for living well and efficiently. These things--from deodorant, cosmetics, dental floss, and sunscreen to laundry detergent, air fresheners, carpets, and crayons to candles, tea bags, cell phones, and chewing gum--are ubiquitous in daily life . . . and they are wreaking havoc on our health and our planet. The environmental toxins found in these products create a cascade of problems, including chemical sensitivities, auto-immune issues, obesity, chronic health diseases, and more."-- No library descriptions found. |

I highlighted so much important and helpful information in the e-book that I basically ended up highlighting the whole book. At which point, GR put their foot down and refused to post any of my highlights. Can't blame them.
The meta-research Olien presents is compelling. The DIY steps and advice he provides to reduce the
bioaccumulation of toxic chemicals in your body, your family, your house, your neighborhood, our air, our food, our water, and our earth are helpful, inspiring and do-able.
So, yeah, hard copy purchased. It is an invaluable reference which I will refer to regularly. It is a life changer. For the better.
And Mr. Olien, I hope you will write sequels. I'm sure you have more eye-opening facts and helpful insights and advice to share.
People always ask when faced with seeming insurmountable problems, what can one person do.
He tells you. And it's not that hard - because the author did all the hard work to make it easy for the rest of us. If a lot of individuals act to save their health and this planet, it could actually get done.
Thank you Darin Olien. You're a true hero. ( )
