A terriffic look at the truth behind many of our everyday purchases, the air we breathe and the modern way we live. This is difficult reading if you don't yet understand what is happening, and especially if you believe that there are agencies which are protecting all of us from these dangers. Our DNA is at risk and therefore, our future generations!

A profoundly eye-opening narrative...not something to be read in one sitting, but something to be read slowly and digested. This is a wake up call if ever there was one to the slow destruction of our bodies. If you have ever considered going "organic", this will be the determiner.

Catherine Frompovitch has written an excellent, well-researched and well-documented treatise on the dangerous chemical soup we find ourselves living in today. I recommend this book highly. The information is invaluable to everyone, especially those of us who take our health seriously.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our Chemical Lives and the Hijacking of our DNA
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2010
From the Industrial revolution and onward, the world has become an environment that is overflowing with dangerous toxins. Mass manufacturing has resulted in thousands of chemical pollutants being released in the atmosphere, water, and soil. As well, there has been a widespread increase of chemicals being added to almost every type of food and retail product. With this overwhelming chemical exposure, there has been an increase in research and studies showing the life threatening impacts on our health and well being. In her book, `Our Chemical Lives and The Hijacking of our DNA,' author Catherine J Frompovich, delves into the effects of a chemical laden world on the body at a cellular level.

Frompovich presents an in-depth analysis supported by research on how chemicals enter the body and penetrate cellular nuclei causing permanent damage and eventual death of the cell resulting in DNA mutations. These mutations have evolved to change our cellular structure making us susceptible to a wide range of diseases.

Frompovich describes how chemicals break down the body's cells causing cellular mutation. She details how such chemicals as pesticides, herbicides, man-made preservatives and additives, and much more, result in such conditions as obesity, increased neurological disorders, respiratory disease, heart disease, cancer, birth defects, endocrine disruption, immune system damage...etc. The author goes into great detail educating the reader about the effects of very powerful and toxic chemicals on our body systems. One important revelation from the book is that many of today's diseases can be linked to our chemically driven lifestyles. This may mean that we can drastically reduce many illnesses by reducing chemical exposure in our everyday lives.

Within the book is an extensive list of chemicals and the impact they have on our health when they accumulate in the body. Her information is supported by important research and statistics. She states, "Man-made chemicals don't coincide with nature's templates" and "What can we do about chemical companies penchant and rationale for constantly exposing us to toxic products in every phase of modern life and living?" Not only will readers learn how we became such a toxic society, but also how to adopt a healthier lifestyle by reducing our exposure to products that contain man-made chemicals.

`Our Chemical Lives and the Hijacking of our DNA' is an important "wake up call' about the current and future state of our toxic environment and what will happen if important changes are not made. Not only is it highly educational, the attention to detail makes the book a handy health resource tool. It is highly recommended to not just mass readers, but also to politicians, manufacturing industry officials, and health professionals.

I do not have this book so I have not read it, but I know that if you put it in Kindle format, more would go out (cost would be lower) and more knowledge spread around the country/world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book everyone should read.

Encyclopaedic work describing just about everything around you that could be harmful. I learned a lot from it. However, as a sufferer from Multiple chemical sensitivity I was a little disappointed that there was very little in it about what to do if you are already I'll as a result of chemicals. However, very highly recommend.
