Product Description: Anyone concerned about the health effects of ingredients in the items they buy every day -- from soup to flea powder, mascara, or car wax -- will find The Safe Shopper's Bible indispensable. Finally, here's a complete guide to settle such questions as: Can your hair coloring cause breast cancer? Is this brand of apple juice safe for babies? Will the additives in this salad dressing harm you? Which shampoo won't sting your eyes? The Safe Shopper's Bible rates thousands of household products, personal care products, foods, and beverages. Its extensive charts list products by brand name and rate them each for short-term and long-term health hazards. Readers can find out at a glance which products are more or less likely to provoke allergies or irritation, cause birth defects or cancer, trigger neurological problems, or pose other health hazards. In addition, the charts provide recommendations for the safest foods, toiletries, and everyday household purchases.
Great resource This is a very good reference to have on hand. It very specifically tells you what chemicals and pesticides are in various products so you can make choices. You can use it to choose better if you don't go the whole organic route.
The most valuable book you'll ever buy This book has changed the way I shop. It has given me the most valuable tools as a consumer, wife and mother when I'm deciding what to use to clean with, foods to buy, I could seriously go on and on. I have repeatedly bought this book as gifts for new moms since it lays a wonderful foundation for becoming a healthy family that isn't choked by toxic products in the home. It is very easy to digest, the tables make for quick reference while shopping. I go back to it often for a refresher!
Most helpful Most helpful and informative and a guide to consummer goods that are chemical free and safe to use for health and well being.
out of date for products but good general info Unfortunately this book was published too many years ago to have many products that are still around or cover recent products. The good part of this book is that it educates you about the harmful and toxic things that are in so many of the everyday products we use.
The safe shopper's bible I really liked this book...just wish that more of the more recent products were listed. do you have an updated version?
I did find this book very helpful. Started me on a huge research project with all this environmental home remedies. Thanks!
