<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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 <i>The Body Toxic</i>, the investigative journalist Nena Baker explores the many factors that have given rise to this condition.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Powerful . . .An eye-opening exposé." --<i>John Marshall, Seattle Post-Intelligencer</i> <p/>"Chilling." --<i>Kate Nolan, The Arizona Republic</i> <p/>"Illuminating . . .
