A must-have book for every parent, from the author of the
ground-breaking bestseller Diet for a Poisoned Planet. Every parent
wonders: Am I buying products for my child that are filled with
chemical toxins? In his powerful new book, Raising Healthy
Children, David Steinman, shows how today’s most popular
items—from bubble bath to cereal to cleaning products to snack
foods—are contaminated with unacceptable levels of chemical
toxins and pesticides, and he proposes alternatives and substitutes
to keep your family safe. Steinman reveals never-before-seen test
results for major brands like Johnsons & Johnsons, Kellogg,
Tide, and Clairol, and General Mills that identify exactly which
products contain dangerous ingredients. He casts a wide net,
showing how beauty products as well as food items can cause
reproductive health issues in pregnant women, and that
environmental exposures, particularly in schools, can have a
profound impact on babies’ and children’s development. Drawing
on current research, illuminating vignettes, and inspiring stories
of activism, Steinman provides action steps for parents in every
chapter, giving them the tools they need to shop for everyday
products that will be toxin-free and helping them ask the right
questions about their local schools and workplaces to determine
their potential levels of exposure. As he writes, “The goal of
this book is to show you how to keep you and your family safe and
healthy.” When Steinman published his acclaimed bestseller Diet
for a Poisoned Planet, it was compared to Rachel Carson’s classic
Silent Spring for bringing to light the chemical toxins in our
food. Now, more than thirty years later, Steinman brings readers up
to date on the increased dangers we face in all aspects of our
lives and teaches us how we can make smart choices to protect our
children and ourselves. Raising Healthy Children is an inspiring,
informative, and user-friendly book that will help every family
reduce their toxic exposures and ensure their health and
well-being.
