Drs. Cohen and Frederick vom Saal have produced a book for the reading public, a volume in Oxford Dr. Weil's Healthy Living Guides. It not only summarizes the best evidence about environmental toxins, it gives practical advice about what you can do to reduce the risk of being harmed by them.

I have long stressed the basic elements of healthy living: good nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate rest and sleep, practices to neutralize harmful effects of stress and optimize mental and emotional wellness, and wise use of preventative medical services. Sad to say, I must now add to that list: awareness of environmental toxins and hazards and ways to protect yourself from them. This book gives you the information you need.
