Would you continue to use your current personal care products on your children if you knew they contained harmful and hazardous chemicals?
Did you know that there are over 100,000 synthetic chemicals available on the market. Toxins are in everything. You can find them in shampoos, nail polish, moisturisers, hair spray, food, water and cleaning products. You can also find them lurking in your child’s toys and and clothing. Over-the-counter and prescription drugs are also contaminated with these substances.
We ingest, absorb and inhale these chemicals every day. They get into our bodies and end up in our bloodstream or get stored in our organs. The problem is, over half of these chemicals have never been tested for their toxicity on the human body. Many are carcinogens, suspected carcinogens, hormone disruptors, allergens and other harmful substances.
Chemical Free Kids is one of the few resources for parents in the world to address the issue of chemicals and their impact on human health and specifically on children and young people. The book covers questions like, ‘What are the toxic chemicals? How do they get into the body? What are the health and behavioural problems they cause? Why are children particularly exposed and susceptible to chemicals?’
Reading Chemical Free Kids is essential to navigate today’s modern living. It teaches parents and care givers how to protect their children from the toxins of the modern world.
