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.

The Breast Cancer Prevention Program

Advance Praise for The Breast Cancer Prevention Program "The Breast Cancer Prevention Program is a marvelous book—intelligent, courageous, and practical. This authoritative and persuasive work will raise the collective consciousness. It asks, and tells, what you can do for yourself and for your country in a sensible, practical way that melds personal prevention and activism. It provides the tools to reduce one's risk of breast cancer both individually and by political action, making lifesaving information immediately available and simultaneously attempting to influence and alter the way our society deals with breast cancer." —Barbara Seaman, co-founder, National Women's Health Network; contributing editor, Ms. magazine; author of The Doctors' Case Against the Pill, Free and Female, and Women and the Crisis in Sex Hormones "All mothers should give this book to their daughters and granddaughters." —Eula Bingham, Ph.D., professor of environmental health, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and former Assistant Secretary of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) "A unique and important book, and a must for all concerned women." —Devra Lee Davis, Ph.D., M.P.H., World Watch Resources Institute "This book is more than a remarkable study. It is a prescription that may save your life." —Studs Terkel Visit us online at http://www.mcp.com/mgr

"A marvelous book—intelligent, courageous, and practical." —Barbara Seaman, co-founder, National Women's Health Network What You Don't Know Can Hurt You. Breast cancer rates continue to climb, with this disease striking more women every year, and yet information about known risks and prevention strategies is not reaching you. The cancer establishment has a vested interest in keeping you focused on early detection, treatment, and basic genetic research rather than on reducing the risks for developing the disease in the first place. The truth is, breast cancer is not a random killer. There are many simple, straight-forward ways women can help protect themselves against it. Supported by a wealth of scientifically documented, medically sound information, this ground-breaking book outlines the unpublished "Dirty Dozen" risk factors for breast cancer and describes in detail the ways you can avoid them. "What a tremendous book, on every level." —Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients "All mothers should give this book to their daughters and granddaughters." —Eula Bingham, Ph.D., former Assistant Secretary of Labor, OSHA "This book is more than a remarkable study. It is a prescription that may save your life." —Studs Terkel "A comprehensive picture of probably all the factors in the home, the immediate area, the workplace and in food that have been linked with breast cancer… Full of stimulating ideas for action." —Helen Lynn and Ann Link, Women's Environmental Network Visit us online at http://www.mgr.com

The Politics of Cancer Revisited

THE POLITICS OF CANCER Revisited, by internationally renowned authority on cancer causes and prevention, Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., backed by meticulous documentation, charges that the cancer establishment remains myopically fixated on damage control -- diagnosis and treatment, and basic genetic research with, not always benign, indifference to cancer prevention research and failure of outreach to Congress, regulatory agencies, and the public with scientific information on unwitting exposures to a wide range of avoidable causes of cancer. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the American Cancer Society (ACS) are also accused of pervasive conflicts of interest, particularly with the cancer drug industry.
