Summary

Every parent wonders: Am I buying products for my child that are filled with chemical toxins? In his powerful new book, Raising Healthy Kids, David Steinman, the director of the Chemical Toxin Working Group (also known as the Healthy Living Foundation) and one of America's premier environmental activists, shows how today's most popular items-from bubble bath to cereal to cleaning products to snack foods-are contaminated with unacceptable levels of chemical toxins and pesticides, and he proposes alternatives and substitutes to keep your family safe. Steinman reveals never-before-seen test results for major brands like Johnsons & Johnsons, Kellogg, Tide, and Clairol, and General Mills that identify exactly which products contain dangerous ingredients. He casts a wide net, showing how beauty products as well as food items can cause reproductive health issues in pregnant women, and that environmental exposures, particularly in schools, can have a profound impact on babies' and children's development.
