Review

“In Dodging the Toxic Bullet, David R. Boyd cuts through the confusion and gives us the practical information we need to protect ourselves and our families from harm. I will recommend this book to patients, colleagues, and friends. “ --Andrew Weil, MD, bestselling author of Natural Health, Natural Medicine

"Mercury in fish, carcinogens in cleaning products, lead in toys—health hazards are all around us. Dodging the Toxic Bullet is David R. Boyd’s guide to avoiding pollutants." --Quill & Quire

"More than a guide on how to avoid everyday toxins, this book advocates for a healthy planet and the well being of all people, including those without the means to protect themselves… it is sincere and meant as a practical way to protect us from ‘the invisible epidemic’: disease and illness caused by environmental hazards that may be rarely sensed, but which are everywhere." --Foreword Reviews

This book gave a very broad overview of chemicals in our homes and bodies. It was an easy to read book that is definitely a great start at understanding the toxic chemical burden each of us faces by using common products. Boyd discusses indoor air, food, water, household products, and the greater scope of the world's affect of the heavy use of toxic chemicals. After doing a lot of research on the subject, there is nothing new I didn't already know from internet reasearch done by The Environmental Working Group or other such organizations. A book supplement choice would be "Slow Death by Rubber Duck" by Bruce Lourie. That book gave much better detailed explainations for things than this book. Overall it was a good read, just not as informative as I would have hoped.
