Review & Description
This book provides compelling evidence that antioxidants, foods, supplements, cosmetics, and natural compounds can be harmful to the human body. It arms a layperson with the critical knowledge that will allow him/her to make educated choices and protect themselves and beloved ones from potentially hazardous substances. When dealing with consumables, it adopts the novel concept of "presumption of guilt", as opposed to "presumption of innocence", borrowed from the criminal justice system: "A chemical compound, of any origin, is considered to be harmful to the human body ("guilty"), until proven harmless ("innocent") by qualified, independent parties." In laymen terms, the author explains why - despite public beliefs - green tea, red wine, coffee, sunscreen lotions, hair colors, antioxidants, supplements, and parabens in women's cosmetics can cause irreparable damage to vital body systems. The book criticizes the public's obsession with everything "natural" and convincingly demonstrates that "natural" is not synonymous with "safe" or "beneficial." It's written for the general public, and also for professionals from the food industry, academia, government agencies, consumer protection and advocacy groups. The author also champions two novel, groundbreaking concepts that, if adopted by us, as a society, will allow for the transition to a science-based food consumption. Read more
