Summary: Enough mis-information to make it unacceptable
Review: I was severely displeased with this book. It was filled with bogus facts. Since a great deal of the info was inaccurate, I was hard pressed to trust any of it. Don't waste your time.

Summary: an excellent and important book
Review: The information contained in this book is important to the care and nurturance of babies everwhere. We have embraced a host of chemicals to make our lives easier without understanding how they would impact our most precious assests, our children. This book carefully covers years of research and clearly documents the impact of a variety of chemicals in common use and their impact on pregnacy and early development. Translating this information into language that can be understood by an educated lay public presents quite a challenge to any author. Dr. Potter has done an excellent job in making a complex topic understandable. She doesn't advocate throwing the baby out with the bath water but had faith that humans are smart enough to find ways to accomplish the same goals with safe non-toxic substances. This is the challenge for all of us. Read it!

Summary: Important information for everyone who loves children
Review: This book contains startling information that will help our children grow up healthy. I not only read the book myself, but passed it on to my daughter-in-laws to insure the healthiest grandchildren possible. They were releived to see that Dr. Potter not only warned them about toxins that could harm fetuses but what to do in the event that their toddlers had been exposed to any of the dangerous toxins she names. It is obvious from the extensive list of advisors in Dr. Potter's book that she has throughly researched her material. This book is a must read of every woman (and man) who are planning a family.
