There is no question that our environment has changed dramatically over the past few decades. The influx of thousands of toxic chemicals that seep into every aspect of our lives wreaking havoc on our bodies can seem daunting, but research now shows that by making simple changes, we can dramatically reduce exposures to many harmful chemicals that we eat, breathe, and lather on our skin.

Non-Toxic is a practical guide to living healthier in our modern environment. It teaches how to reduce chemical and radiation exposures by recognizing potential threats and paying attention to what you eat, breathe, and put onto your skin. Written in clear, easy-to-understand language and based on scientific evidence, this book is filled with resources, tools, tear-off sheets, recipes, and practical, cost-effective tips designed to help you:

Â· Understand and decode product and food labels

Â· Create delicious recipes to help detoxify your body

Â· Choose and prepare food and drinks safely and healthfully

Â· Furnish and clean your home for a healthy indoor environment

Â· Safely disinfect surfaces from COVID-19

Â· Create do-it-yourself cleaning product recipes

Â· Choose safer personal care products and cosmetics

Â· Reduce exposure to pesticides in and around your home

Â· Ensure safe drinking water for you, your family and pets

Â· Reduce exposure to EMF radiation from cell phones, laptops and other tech toys

Â· Make informed decisions about toys, baby products, and other environmental issues affecting your children

Written by a board-certified Rheumatologist and Integrative Medicine Physician, and a renowned PhD professor of neuro- and reproductive biology, Non-Toxic is designed to be referred to again and again for its relevant, cost-effective, and practical ways to reduce exposure and thereby lower risk for developing a variety of environmentally associated illnesses.

ABOUT THE SERIES: From series editor, Andrew Weil, one of the most iconic and trusted names in healthcare today, the Dr. Weil's Healthy Living Guides series discusses caring for common medical conditions and optimizing health from an integrative medical approach. Integrative medicine is defined as an evidence-based healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, conventional, alternative, and complementary.

Review

"As the founder of the Cancer Schmancer Movement and an ardent believer that how you live equals how you feel, I can speak first hand that Dr. Aly Cohen, who is one of our medical advisors, is the real deal! Read this book and learn how to live well, be well, and stay well!" -- Fran Drescher, Actor, Producer, Author, Health Activist, Public Diplomacy Envoy on Health - US State Department"The idea that our home environment and product choices can make us sick is a powerful motivator for cleaner living. Drs. Cohen and vom Saal reveal the dangers lurking within our food, water, clothing, personal care products, household products, and cellular technology, and share practical, cost-effective, tips and recommendations to battle the challenges of "clean" living in a world without meaningful regulations. This is an important and timely guide to understanding our toxic world and what we can all do to protect our bodies from harmful exposures and their chronic health consequences." -- Mark Hyman MD, bestselling author of numerous books, including Food Fix: How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, Our Communities, and Our Planet-One Bite at a Time"Non-Toxic reveals the vast extent our ever-increasing exposure to toxins coupled with the failure of governmental agencies to intervene for our protection. The text not only makes it clear that to protect our health we have to serve as our own advocates, but also provides clear strategies enabling us to accomplish this goal. This is a clear and eloquent presentation of where we are, how we got here, and what we can do moving forward to offset some of the most important health threats of our modern world." -- David Perlmutter, MD, Author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain and Brain Wash"If your doctor has never told you how important it is to reduce toxic chemical exposures in your food, water, and home, you might need a new doctor. You definitely need Non-Toxic, a book so indispensable to good health its purchase ought to be covered by insurance. Dr. Aly Cohen and Professor Fred vom Saal lucidly explain how toxic chemicals hurt you and prescribe practical steps you can take to get them out of your life." -- Ken Cook, President, EWG"Non-Toxic is the blueprint for staying healthy in an increasingly complex environment. You CAN reduce harmful exposures without turning your whole life upside down or breaking the bank. When misinformation abounds, a scientifically based resource with practical recommendations for making safer choices for everything from food to home furnishings is truly a treasure. I will be recommending this book to all my patients and colleagues." -- Tieraona Low Dog, MD, Integrative Physician and Author of Healthy at Home"What could be more important than the health of our brain! Non-Toxic shares practical information to help reduce harmful brain exposures - from pregnancy all the way through old age - and empowers readers to take control of the chemical world around them." -- Dhru Pirohit, creator/host of the Broken Brain podcast"Every day I witness increasing concern for both personal health and planetary ecological health, especially as humanity experiences global interconnectedness in real time. In Non-Toxic, the authors provide rigorously researched assessments of what we're faced with as well as practical actions to protect ourselves and others. As more of us make these changes, our collective impact will be a reduced toxics burden for all life. I enthusiastically recommend Non-Toxic as a superb guide to meaningful personal and global action." -- Shana S. Weber, Ph.D., Director, Office of Sustainability, Princeton Environmental Institute, Princeton University"An authoritative and accessible guide to how we got into the chemical pickle we are in, what it means for your health, and how you can take positive, practical action to navigate through the chemical onslaught that comes at us every day." -- Pete Myers, Ph.D., co-author of Our Stolen Future

Eye-opening read for a biochemistry scientist

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2021

The value of this book is vast to people in all stages of life from infants to the elderly. As a scientist who has developed autoimmune disease over my life, I never realized the potential negative impact that the chemicals developed in our world has on on overall health. Couple the chemical impact in our environment with our food supplies and the decreasing nutrients in those foods over the years and it is no longer a surprise why societies have such high rates of degenerative mental and physical disease.

This book is a guide to identifying and eliminating chemicals in your world that are most impactful to you and your family. Not every chapter is for every person. It is well organized so that each person can find and bookmark the sections most relevant to them for future reference. Make no mistake - this is a reference guide to change the manner in which you think about the chemicals that have become so prevalent in our lives. It is a guide to help us live cleaner lives which ultimately will improve our quality of life so that we can enjoy it for the duration on earth. Living well into the 80s or 90s is great as long as one is healthy enough to enjoy it. Starting to change your life or the life of your loved ones happens in baby steps, not overnight. This book brings awareness to seeing the items that can and do harm to us in little ways over time. Once awareness is there, there are practical suggestions that can be implemented over time to decrease chemical exposure.

For those on a journey to better health due to illness, remember that it took a lifetime to build up these toxins and get a diagnosis for the present health state. It will take time to undo those years of exposure. Reading 'Non-Toxic' is step one to undoing those years. For those in good health, it is step one to keeping your health that way.

This is an important book, but don't get the Kindle version.

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2020

Non-Toxic is a collaboration between a physician and a pioneer researcher in the field of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Research in the field of EDCs challenges approaches to risk assessment used by federal agencies, showing that chemical exposures disrupt development at doses thousands of times lower than had been previously estimated by the FDA and EPA to cause no effect. Dr. vom Saal is one of the courageous researchers in the field who has testified about the hazards posed by environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals in numerous state and national legislative and regulatory bodies. Dr. Cohen is a board certified rheumatologist, integrative medicine specialist, and environmental health expert in Princeton, New Jersey. She is coeditor (with Dr. vom Saal) of the textbook, Integrative Environmental Medicine.

This book is both comprehensive in its coverage of environmental hazards and useful in terms of supplying actions the reader can take to avoid them. Since it is especially valuable for parents and parents-to-be, I plan to be giving copies of this book to my young friends and family members.

I read "Don't put your laptop on your lap" as I was reading the Kindle version from my laptop on my lap. However, that is not the reason I recommend against the Kindle version. There were several places where multiple pages were skipped, and I was not able to get a complete version with the help of Amazon. In fact, I found sections in the "Look inside" feature that I could not find on the website.

MUST READ - Save yourself 9 years of Research

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2020

I cannot stress enough how insightful of a read this is! If you want to not only be more conscious of what you’re constantly putting in/on/around your body, but also know what you can do to reduce harmful exposures to live a less toxic life—this book is for you. The authors make it so simple to lead a healthier life by educating on chemicals and ingredients to help better understand labels. They offer the history and context for many of the environmental health threats we face today, and provide consumer advocacy groups we can get involved in to impact regulation, policy, and public awareness. With toxins and radiation in almost every item We encounter day to day, I’ve always felt helpless in limiting mine and my family’s exposure. Now, thanks to this book I have a simple roadmap to gaining awareness, reducing exposure, and improving environmental health. MUST MUST MUST read. For your loved ones, your friends and fur babies, for future generations, it’s worth the $19.95.

I loved this book. The problem with our everyday toxins is presented clearly with supporting research. Everything is touched upon from our kitchens to our cell phones. My favorite part of the book is the solutions. Practical, easy-to-implement strategies are presented. As a physical therapist and health coach, I know how important reducing our toxic load is and this book gives you a fabulous road map. I am recommending this book to my clients and patients. The information is life-changing!

A Perfect Guide to help you get rid chemicals in your life and home

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is a perfect guide to help you navigate through the chemicals we all are inundated with every day of our lives. It is a must-have guide for everyone to have in their homes and it comes from not only two people that know about the subject, but also from a Mom that wants to make sure her kids are not surrounded by chemicals every day. What your Doctor does not tell you this book will guide you through living a healthier life and avoiding the 80,000 unregulated chemicals we are surrounded by every day. We as citizens need a guide like this because the FDA and the EPA do not tell us what is safe and what is not. There is too much political pressure on them and we need to educate ourselves. Thanks to Aly Cohen, MD, and Frederick S. vom Saal for their guidance!

Unsure what to expect, I picked up a copy of this book and have found it so accessible and enjoyable to read so far. Aimed at the layperson and packed full of digestible information, its a really well written and helpful text compared to some of the more esoteric and difficult to approach books I've come across in the past.

Also such an important topic that we need to learn more about, and this is a really well informed, well educated, and evidence supported place to start living a healthier lifestyle.
