There’s a new book out we just had to tell you about. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to read labels on the personal-care products in your bathroom and medicine cabinet, this book is for you!
It’s called, Toxic Beauty, and it’s written by Dr. Samuel S. Epstein and investigative reporter Randall Fitzgerald. Epstein is an expert on avoidable causes of cancer, as well as professor emeritus of environmental health at the University of Illinois, consultant to the U.S. Senate, and former consultant to the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Labor. Fitzgerald has been an investigative reporter for 37 years. Together, the two have created a great reference for anyone who wants to avoid unnecessary toxic exposure and purchase healthier products.
Described as “part expose, part practical handbook,” Toxic Beauty talks about the serious threats that toxic ingredients in cosmetics and personal-care products pose to our health. It also describes the carcinogenic, hormonal, and other adverse health affects of these ingredients, while giving information on safer alternatives. It even provides tear-out sheets listing all major categories of toxic ingredients.
“Toxic Beauty is the most important book of the decade,” says Horst Rechelbacher, founder of Aveda and Intelligent Nutrients. “As a medical doctor, Sam Epstein clearly understands the causes of diseases such as cancer, diabetes and other inflammatory diseases through the exposure to petrochemical and synthetic toxins found in every day consumer products. This book…is a must read for everyone.”
“I must admit that I was skeptical when I started reading,” says Jennifer Walker of Jennifer’s Book Reviews. “After all, if these products are so harmful, surely we would know about it by now? However, Dr. Epstein includes so many scientific figures and studies that his arguments were hard to deny-and I am already evaluating the products in my medicine cabinet.”
“Toxic Beauty is an excellent eye-opening read that encourages us to learn about the harmful effects of the products we use almost every day,” says reviewer Babs E. Keller of Alive Raw Inc. “And because we cannot depend on the industry to take any action that does not serve its best interest, this book helps us in the absence of warning labels to identify those products that are killing us.”
“When Dr. Epstein speaks, I listen,” says Dr. Mercola. “Toxic Beauty outlines how the beauty industry undermines your health on a daily basis. Dr. Epstein gives a comprehensive list of products, by gender, age, and category that you might assume are safe, lets you know how to locate them-and how best to avoid the ones that put you at risk for cancer.”
