Rick Smith & Bruce Lourie
Health/Politics
We are surrounded by chemicals and there is nothing we can do to keep them out of our bodies. That is the basic message of this book, and reading it actually made me quite depressed.
Slow Death by Rubber Duck is about all the dangerous pollutants everyone is unknowingly ingesting every single day. Good lord. Pretty much everything in your house has some kind of awful chemical in it. Soap, water bottles, DVDs, makeup, clothes…you name an item somewhere in your house, it's bad for you. Mr. Smith and Mr. Lourie take the reader chapter by chapter through the most dangerous pollutants, such as BPA and mercury, and point out why exactly they’re so dangerous and where we can find them. At the end of the book, an entire chapter is devoted to advice on how to avoid taking in all these nasty chemicals in the future.
In case you couldn’t tell, this book is terrifying. Everyone should read it, though. We need to understand what’s happening to our environment and our bodies. Pick up Slow Death by Rubber Duck today and start looking at the world differently.
