We are running a collective chemical fever that we cannot break.
Everyone everywhere now carries a dizzying array of chemical
contaminants, the by-products of modern industry and innovation,
that contribute to a host of developmental deficits and health
problems in ways just now being understood. These toxic substances,
unknown to our grandparents, accumulate in our fat, bones, blood,
and organs as a consequence of womb-to-tomb exposure to industrial
substances as common as the products that contain them. Almost
everything we encounter--from soap to soup cans, computers to
clothing--contributes to a chemical load unique to each of us.
Scientists studying the phenomenon refer to it as "chemical body
burden," and in "The Body Toxic," the investigative journalist Nena
Baker explores the many factors that have given rise to this
condition.
