Editorial Reviews

Review

"An informative and timely publication, well written, and filled with useful facts. An excellent source of reference and an essential addition to public, college and professional libraries." -- Illinois Supreme Court Justice, retired

"Eminently readable, yet scientifically informative. It should appeal not only to health professionals but also to a wide spectrum of concerned non-professionals. Very straightforward... The author extends our scientific understanding of toxicology to develop some rather practical life-style recommendations." -- Professor of Pharmacology and Medicine

"Facinating reading and a somewhat frightening eye-opener. The organization of the book is excellent. A remarkably comprehensive survey of the field." -- Professor of Clinical Medicine

This review is from: Environmental Poisons in Our Food (Paperback)

This book cuts through the confusing, contradictory information we hear regarding pesticides, organic food, and other issues effecting the quality of the food we eat. It is extremely well referenced, timelessly relevant, easy to read, and, best of all, NOT BORING.
