The Hundred-Year Lie

內容簡介

內容簡介 In a devastating exposé in the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation, investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago, when Congress enacted the Pure Food and Drug Act, Americans were promised “better living through chemistry.” Fitzgerald provides overwhelming evidence to shatter this myth, and many others perpetrated by the chemical, pharmaceutical, and processed foods industries. Consider this: · The average American carries a "body burden" of 700 synthetic chemicals; · Chemicals in tap water can cause reproductive abnormalities and hermaphroditic birth; · One study of lactating women found perchlorate (a toxic component of rocket fuel) in practically every mother's breast milk. In the face of this national health crisis, Fitzgerald presents informed and practical suggestions for what we can do to turn the tide and live healthier lives.

各界推薦 曾幫華爾街日報等報紙媒體撰寫焦點議題的記者Randall Fitzgerald，在一次訪查的過程中，發現了一個大家忽略的事實，各種化學合成物早已透過我們生活的日常接觸，逐漸入侵我們的身體。 我們呼吸的空氣、日常的生活飲水都滲透著不等的化學合成物。另外一個驚人的事實是在1906年，美國國會通過「純食品暨藥物法案」，希望透過這項法律管制毒害，沒想到卻成為商人規避法律的漏洞，罔顧群眾的健康，上演了一場如同書名所想要表達的「百年謊言」。 作者透過調查的真相，揭發我們生活中吃進去的食物添加物、抗生素、藥品，甚至健康食品中的化學毒素，甚至這些毒素的交互作用後，毒性將大幅提升，讓原本有療效的藥品成為慢性殺人的兇手，這本《The Hundred-Year Lie》希望透過這些調查報告，可以讓讀者正視這個與我們生活與生命息息相關的問題，並提出建議，減少毒素的吸收以及如何排出毒素，擁抱健康生活。
