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.

Pseudoscientific lady pushing her cherry picked information. Absolute ludicrosity and especially coming from someone who does not have education in the fields she speaks of. Shame on you A Cohen.

[Alisha Berger]

Informative and well researched

Non-Toxic demonstrates how truly toxic the world around us can be. But, fear not: The book also offers detailed methods for minimizing our exposure. It is a very thorough and clear guide to keeping our bodies healthy and our world safe. A must-read for anybody who wants to live as healthfully as possible.
