Summary: Valuable information on keeping your family safe.
Review: In a world where there are soo many products it is hard to tell which ones are safe. This book, however, manages to take out some of the chore involved in researching product safety. I recommend this book for everyone who makes the purches in the family.

Summary: You may not find YOUR products in this book!
Review: Informative and yet disappointing when I tried to find products that I use. I've indeed eliminated a few items from my shelves - the book just needs to be updated! I wonder why she did not touch on big company named products alot. Many items recommended cannot be found in regular stores which is a bit scarey!! What are we buying out there!! A wonderful quote from the book and a real eye opener is on page 185 re fragrances and perfumes."...Yet manufactureres are not required to list on product labels the ingredients used in formulating their fragrances, scents, and perfumes. In other words, if these products are carried to a hazardous waste site in your community, you have the right to kow, but if you are going to apply them to the skin, you do not." This book took a lot of time and research. I think she could update, dedicating one book to household cleaners, and another book to personal care items. I would buy!

Summary: Leaves You Feeling Desperate
Review: On the one hand, it's nice to know that many products I purchase have known carcinogens: Colgate toothpaste, Pantene shampoo, Cover Girl makeup, Halibut from California, cashews, sesame seeds, anti-perspirant, Clairol hair dye, etc. Unfortunately, I have never heard of the recommended alternatives, and they are unavailable at any store, ie: Logona, Ecco Bella, Aloegen Biogenics, Paul Penders cosmetics, etc. What is a person to do?The authors of this book are doing us a favour by making us aware of how toxic these everyday items are, but does little to help the consumer who does not live in an area where alternatives are readily available. The real question is why our governments are allowing these companies to poison us. It's truly depressing.

Summary: Great guide
Review: This is an excellent guide to products that we use daily. You can find the safest alternatives and information about what ingredients are harmful. The only drawback is that it does not include ratings on the newest products on the market but you can use the other info about harmful ingredients as a guideline. If you are concerned about product safety this book is a must.

Summary: This book is an excellent book.
Review: This is definitely a Bible. This book contains a huge abundance of useful information, everything from cleaning products to the foods we eat. Everyone should have one of these in their houshold.
