In a devastating exposé in the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation , investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago in 1906, when Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drug Act, Americans were promised "better living through chemistry." Fitzgerald provides overwhelming evidence to shatter this myth, and many others perpetrated by the chemical, pharmaceutical, and processed foods industries. In the face of this national health crisis, Fitzgerald also presents informed and practical suggestions for what we can do to turn the tide and live healthier lives.
Consider this:
• The average American carries a "body burden" of 700 synthetic chemicals
• Chemicals in tap water can cause reproductive abnormalities and hermaphroditic birth
• A 2005 study of lactating women in eighteen U.S. states found perchlorate (a toxic component of rocket fuel) in practically every mother’s breast milk

評分前前後後斷斷續續終於看完瞭，算是開闊瞭許多眼界。連筆記都復製粘貼瞭一萬多字。 許多例子與數據直接忽略，讓我感興趣的反而是許多觀點。 算是直接點醒瞭很多方麵。比如說飲食，比如說生活習慣。 作為一枚醫學生，看上去還是挺有feel的，但是直覺告訴我，其他專業的...
