A must read for anyone eating ANYTHING from supermarkets

This is a must read for anyone eating ANYTHING from supermarkets. This book exposes how the processing food industry creates CANCER over and over again.

great book

I love this book! A must have for everyone! You will be amazed what's in your "everyday" items.

A must read!

This book is incredibly informative. Not only about all the chemicals that companies are bombarding us with everyday, but actual solutions and alternatives to using those harsh products. The author goes into great detail about every category of product that people use, from shampoos and makeup to pesticides and cleaning products.

outstanding and critical to health

I have a masters degree from the University of Washington (research based institution) and I am also a breast cancer survivor. I started studying how to build my immune system 3 years ago and discovered some of this then: and it is great to have it in book form. This is an emerging base of public knowledge and critical to health of ourselves and our children. Buy some extra and get them out to your friends and family.

Gramma Niki Detoxifies

I found this book browsing in a small bookstore in Aptos, California. I was interested in finding out what is in some processed restaurant and other foods that I am finding myself sensitive to...well, my God, I had no idea what a toxic jungle of products are available for consumers to slowly poison themselves with. The book is very informative and straightforward. It is easy to locate the information you want and frankly I found it easier than searching the internet. The content is what it is and the author doesn't try to glamorize what is quite sobering information nor trivilize. A must read and act upon book!
