Poisoned Profits: The Toxic Assault on Our Children - Rilegato

A "hard-hitting expose', written for the layperson", "well-documented and accessible."
---pediatrician Ruth Etzlel, Environmental Health Perspectives

"The book is an essential read – a call to action that presents, incisively and sharply, the state of the evidence" and "gives voice to families affected."
---Olga Naidenko, PhD, www.enviroblog.org

"This well-documented, highly readable page-turner contains shockingly important information critical to the health of families."
---Verna Noel Jones, Rocky Mountain News

"A hard-hitting book written by smart and capable journalists. The reason that I think Poisoned Profits is so controversial is because the book names names. I would say this information is accurate background to the larger picture. It's well-researched and well-vetted — so it's controversial, but sound."
---Boston University epidemiologist Richard Clapp, The Pump Handle
