The World Health Organization study released in March of 2016 reported that nearly 12.6 million people worldwide died as a result of environmental factors in 2012.

What are the health consequences of continued exposure to environmental chemicals throughout a lifetime, beginning in the womb? Scientists found an average of 287 chemicals in the umbilical cord blood of newborns including pesticides, flame retardants, consumer product ingredients, and industrial pollutants. And that’s just the beginning. Exposure to contaminants continues thereafter on a daily basis creating a “body burden” or, simply put, an accumulated slurry of chemicals stored in our bodies.

What are these chemicals used for in industry? How are we exposed? Which tissues in the body are they stored in, and how do they affect our overall health? Can we detoxify persistent pollutants? Or, better yet, is it possible to further avoid them? Referencing over 1500 published research papers highlighting the 25 most common chemicals affecting populations worldwide today, Your Body’s Environmental Chemical Burden not only provides answers to these questions but includes a comprehensive resource guide containing information on how to limit and even avoid future exposure.

According to four-time best-selling author Dr. Deanna Minich, this new book is “the go-to toxin reference for the 21^st century -- something every home should have!”
