The Hundred-Year Lie: How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Your Health (book recommendation)

[Guest guest]

Another book I've gotten a lot from recently:

 

" The Hundred-Year Lie: How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Your Health " , by

Randall Fitzgerald

 

" Combining the impact of the classic bestseller Silent Spring with Fast Food

Nation, The Hundred-Year Lie presents a devastating exposé of how chemicals in

everyday products are ruining our health.

 

" Over the past one hundred years, we have been guinea pigs in a vast chemistry

experiment that uses our bodies, our health, and our good will to test the

proposition that modern science can improve upon nature.

 

" In The Hundred-Year Lie, investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald shatters

dozens of myths being perpetuated by the chemical, pharmaceutical and

processed food industries.

 

Find out why you would never be FDA-approved—and why humans are becoming one

of the most polluted species on the planet:

• The average American now carries a “body burden” of 700 or more synthetic

chemicals, including Teflon, plastics, and dozens of pesticides.

• Musk fragrances used in detergents and air fresheners are not filtered out

by our current water treatment facilities, ending up in our drinking water.

• The artificial sweetener aspartame, an ingredient in 1,200 food products

from diet drinks to chewing gum, has been linked to eighty-eight toxic

symptoms.

 

Fitzgerald not only sheds light on the problems we face from the unprecedented

chemical onslaught, he presents suggestions for what we can to do to turn the

tide. "

 

Check your local library (that's where I got mine).

" The greater part of what my neighbors call good, I believe in my soul to be

bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What

demon possessed me that I behaved so well? " -Henry David Thoreau
