Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book for keeping your family healthy, 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I think this book is excellent. It tells about many different house-hold products. Some of the products it tells about is- Bathroom cleaners, Paints, Animal (pet) products. Cosmetics, Shampoos, Hair care products, Tooth care, Fruits and Vegtables plus many more. It also tells about carcinogenic products. I find this book very helpful when I want to find out about products I want to buy. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to find about the products that are healthy for you and non-healthy for you.

This is definitely a Bible. This book contains a huge abundance of useful information, everything from cleaning products to the foods we eat. Everyone should have one of these in their houshold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable information on keeping your family safe., 15 Sep 1998
By A Customer
In a world where there are soo many products it is hard to tell which ones are safe. This book, however, manages to take out some of the chore involved in researching product safety. I recommend this book for everyone who makes the purches in the family.
