ChemicalFree Kids How to Safeguard Your Child's Diet and Environment
Author: Allan Magaziner DO, Linda Bonvie, Anthony Zolezzi

Protecting your children from the many perils lurking in today's world is bound to be one of your top priorities. — But some of the most insidious threats to their well-being are those you can't see and may not even be aware of -- and that your kids are quite apt to be regularly exposed to at home, at play and at school. — Chemical-Free Kids is yo... more »ur guide to the whereabouts of these invisible dangers -- the toxic substances that permeate our food and environment -- as well as to strategies that can enable you to keep them from doing irreparable harm to your family.

In this highly informative yet reader-friendly book, you'll learn the identity and characteristics of the chemical culprits hiding in processed and conventionally-grown food, either in the form of poisonous residues left over from pesticide applications or as additives intended to preserve it or disguise its flavor and appearance. You'll also be given an overview of the health hazards to your children posed by all manner of household and garden products, from air fresheners to lawn sprays. You'll find out why government watchdogs have been so lax about regulating or banning these hazardous substances and what steps you can take to gradually eliminate them from your family's environment.

This book will also provide you with highly workable plans for introducing your kids to a healthier lifestyle, for making your child's school safe from toxic sprays, and for weaning your kids off junk food and winning them over to nutritious, unadulterated meals and snacks. It even offers dozens of recipes to help you detoxify your family's diet -- including some especially geared to kids with allergies to certain kinds of foods.

The wealth of essential information and advice you'll gain from reading "Chemical-Free Kids" includes:

* How you can phase out products that contain harmful additives and replace them with healthier ones -- including the ten best foods for children -- without disrupting your lifestyle.

* How detoxifying your child's diet can prevent or limit food allergies and sensitivities.

* Why artificial sweeteners (especially aspartame) should be avoided.

* How you can give your baby a priceless gift by limiting your exposure to toxic substances during pregnancy.

*Non-toxic pest-control techniques, and other easy and convenient methods for maintaining a chemical-free home environment.

* How to avoid the life-threatening hazard posed by a deadly nerve gas in widespread domestic use as a "fumigant."

* The various reasons that organically grown foods are so important to your family's health.

* The twin menaces of lead and mercury exposure -- and how you can keep these extremely toxic and nerve-damaging heavy metals from harming your child's development.
