It took humanity 200.000 years to understand the link between contaminated drinking water and sickness. Louis Pasteur provided us with this breakthrough. At this time, science was still founded on sound humanistic principles and stimulated an open debate. Truth was more important then than money, and money was well spent. Thanks to gigantic investments everybody in the US receives drinking water at home. Life expectancy increased a staggering 50 % due to this. Pure drinking water is and remains the single most important scientific discovery in human history.
From 1940 onwards, the petrochemical industry began producing DDT and other carcinogenic pesticides. In the same way that contaminated water makes us sick, a poisoned planet produces sick people. Cancer is the new name of this epidemic. President Nixon declared the War on Cancer in 1971, but to no avail. Nowadays, a man has 44 % chance of getting cancer, whereas for women this is 38 %. This is an increase with 24 % with respect to the year 1973. Within the current political system the big corporations producing carcinogenic products are not blamed at all. You are being blamed, with your “unhealthy lifestyle”. But then again, we are not being informed. Dr. Samuel Epstein sees it as follows : “Consumer product legislation is well overdue. All foods grown with the application of carcinogenic pesticides should be clearly labeled with a cancer warning, the name of each carcinogenic pesticide, and the concentrations of its residues”. Maybe this will be accomplished in the 22nd century. Let’s hope so.
In the meantime, we people living in the 21st century are on our own. Governments don’t care about us. Nobody will think in our place. Diet for a poisoned planet is a survival guide for people who don’t want to die from the 21st century. You will probably find organic foods less expensive after reading this book. Who is on a budget will receive tips on what eventually can be bought in a normal supermarket, and what should absolutely be avoided. It is important to highlight that also baby food is examined. The great news is that it is even possible to detoxify your body. Mr. Steinman is a living proof that high levels of DDT and PCB in your body can be expulsed. He has done it changing his diet and undergoing a vitamin therapy. This book is highly recommended. Five stars !
