Lurking in our homes, hiding in our offices, and polluting the air we breathe is something sinister. Something we’ve turned a blind eye to for far too long. Dr. Leonardo Trasande, a pediatrician, professor, and world-renowned researcher, tells the story of how our everyday surroundings are making us sicker, fatter, and poorer.
Dr. Trasande exposes the chemicals that disrupt our hormonal systems and damage our health in irreparable ways. He shows us where these chemicals hide—in our homes, our schools, at work, in our food, and countless other places we can’t control—as well as the workings of policy that protects the continued use of these chemicals in our lives. Drawing on extensive research and expertise, he outlines dramatic studies and emerging evidence about the rapid increases in neurodevelopmental, metabolic, reproductive, and immunological diseases directly related to the hundreds of thousands of chemicals that we are exposed to every day. Unfortunately, nowhere is safe.
But, thanks to Dr. Trasande’s work on the topic, and his commitment to effecting change, this book can help. Through a blend of narrative, scientific detective work, and concrete information about the connections between chemicals and disease, he shows us what we can do to protect ourselves and our families in the short-term, and how we can help bring the change we deserve.
Powerful and Accessible As a pediatrician, I found the information about hormone-disrupting chemicals that impact children's health illuminating. This will certainly impact the way I think about anticipatory guidance. As a mother of an 8 month old, I found the practical tips for avoiding exposures empowering (using glass over plastic, how to look at labels). It's a scientist's advice on how to live healthfully in this world, and how to make it better.Must read! This is a fantastic read! The science is accessible and I appreciate the practical tips for reducing exposures. Sometimes thinking about all the hidden dangers lurking in our air, food, water, etc. can be overwhelming, especially when early life exposures can have negative impacts on health for the rest of our lives. For this reason, I really appreciate the author’s optimism and also have hope that we can collectively make a difference.Great science plus practical advice This book is amazing. It is great overview of the science of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and the ways in which they are affecting our health for the worse plus practical advice for how to reduce exposure to them to protect yourself and your family. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in how environmental exposures are affecting our health and how to make changes in your life that will help prevent diseases ranging from ADHD to diabetes to cancer. We just listened to the audio book and already we are making changes to how we handle things in our home, like food storage. Highly recommended.
