Fatal Conveniences: The Toxic Products and Harmful Habits That Are Making You Sick―and the Simple Changes That Will Save Your Health

If you want to know the latest on keeping yourself safe from all the chemicals in the world, this will explain how to avoid them. The chapter on EMFs was depressing but so very much needed. I highly recommend!

So much information, it opened Pandora's box...

Very helpful for alternative products

I'm not one to leave reviews often, but this book is an exception. Health is such an overlooked subject in the West, and in particular if people knew how detrimental environmental toxins are to their health and lifspan (chemicals and toxins in the water, food, bathing products, beauty products, clothing, electronic radiation, the list goes on), they would be mortified. The 1st step to cutting down and eventually eliminating these poisons is to be aware of them. This book opened my eyes to many I had overlooked. I'd put this in the top 3 most important books, along with "Save or Slave: How to Save Money Like your Freedom Depends on It" :)

This book is insightful, frightening, powerful. I'd already begun looking for specific chemicals to avoid in foods and beauty products, etc. Already using laundry soap sheets and biodegradable, natural dryer sheets...Down To Earth on Netflix had opened up, for me, and whole new level of interest in environmental care and concern. So I readily purchased this second book by Darin Olien. I'm amazed at the depth, the wealth of information packed into this book. Cannot recommend this enough. Everyone should read this.

This book is such an eye opener. Even as someone that already is aware and making changes, I don’t know how to start sometimes AND there are so many “fatal conveniences”In my life that I have overlooked! Darin simplifies ways to improve our lives as well as the planets that ANYONE can do! I’ll continue to revisit each page and it’s also a great book for those you care about!

I don't think I needed a book to tell me how bad these things are, but maybe I needed one to open my eyes about how pervasive and damaging it really is and give me a kick in the pants to clean out my products.The book is simplistic and right to the point. A great starting point for the average person. Easy to read. Easy to understand. Only took me a couple days to get through it. Not cumbersome. Tells you the basics about each type of product and offers alternatives. The last chapter is recipes and websites for alternatives, which is helpful.Overall, good introductory book. Great title. Good design. Recommended reading. Perhaps a book that should be in everyone's personal library.

If everyone would do their small part, then we all could be healthier, feel better and avoid diseases.

Easy reading style This is an eye-opening bug, it does a good job to translate, some of the research and changes in our modern day world end point out some brands or things to look for in products that we use often. I slowly change things one at a time as I went through each chapter and made sure to check the ingredients of products I was already using.

He has thoroughly researched his subjects and has great suggestions, many of which I am heeding. I’ve made recommendations to my family and friends. I’m thinking of following some of his recipes for personal hygiene and cleaning products and giving them as Christmas gifts. You could say I’m really inspired by his book.

Loved it as I could follow and understand it as it was written. Recommend this for all concerned about personal health and environment
