This is truly painful stuff. Littered with weasel words, myths, half truths, nods and winks, this is a horrendous pile of rubbish.
Call a chemical by its chemical name and it must be bad. But a common name makes it perfectly safe. Apparently you should not buy any cleaners containing alcohol, but should feel free to use borax for all your cleaning around the house. Borax must be labeled in the EU to advise users if the danger to fertility and to the unborn, a fact she omits.
I've followed her best advise, and recycled my copy.
This is a dangerous book. Avoid.
