In a devastating exposé in the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation , investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago in 1906, when Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drug Act, Americans were promised "better living through chemistry." Fitzgerald provides overwhelming evidence to shatter this myth, and many others perpetrated by the chemical, pharmaceutical, and processed foods industries. In the face of this national health crisis, Fitzgerald also presents informed and practical suggestions for what we can do to turn the tide and live healthier lives.
Consider this:
• The average American carries a "body burden" of 700 synthetic chemicals
• Chemicals in tap water can cause reproductive abnormalities and hermaphroditic birth
• A 2005 study of lactating women in eighteen U.S. states found perchlorate (a toxic component of rocket fuel) in practically every mother’s breast milk

评分书末提到两本书,分别是Rachel Carson的著名作品《Silent Spring》和Eric Schlosser的《Fast Food Nation》,前者是经典,后者只是畅销书而已。两本都已出了中文版,《寂静的春天》不用说,再版又再版,《快餐国家》就只是二〇〇二年社会科学文献出版社出了一本。从印次就可以...
