Horrifying. You're in for a nightmare/wake-up call reading this one. I have no regrets and I'm glad I'm more informed now as a consumer. If you have children or if you really care about living a healthy life style, drop the plastics and the synthetics and the pesticides.

If you want to make smart decisions that could end up saving you a trip to the doctor, even save you from potential cancers, please read this book. It is a shocker how much we are bombarded by chemicals that have not been tested, might never be tested, and they are everywhere.

The book is easy to read, Jenkins did his research - talked to people from all walks of life and all kinds of jobs. I feel very informed and ready to change my consumer habits. I hope also to share this knowledge with everyone I know and care about. We have to change.

I could go on forever about this, but I'll just let you read for yourself and see just what's in everything you buy.
