In a world becoming more toxic by the day, it’s crucial to understand what chemicals you and your family are exposed to on a daily basis. In the United States, more than 10,000 chemicals are permitted as food additives—while Europe allows just 411. And that number doesn’t even include the chemicals found in cosmetics, cleaning supplies, detergents, and countless personal care products, many of which remain largely unregulated until harm has already been demonstrated.
All of this makes it more important than ever to take your own toxic load—and your family’s environmental exposures—into your own hands.
