Personal Review: The Toxic Sandbox: The Truth About
Environmental Toxins and Our Childrens Health by Libby
McDonald
Am I Missing Something? Why aren't the issues in this book addressed or
discussed more? This book discusses the most dangerous toxins that
your children (and you) will encounter on a daily basis. Some of the points
I had heard before, but others just floored me. Every parent needs to be
aware of what is in the environment that will adversely effect the health of
their children. This book is easy to read and can be used or read as a
reference book. My wife and I went through our plastics (for food and drink
especially) this week and tossed quite a bit. We plan to continue to weed
out anything dangerous (including toxins that my wife would pass on to an
unborn child). This is definitely worth the read.
