DANGEROUS OR SAFE?
An indispensable resource, this relatable guide gives moms and dads clear instructions on what to avoid, and which so-called poisons are completely safe. It also answers the questions that parents most frequently ask their pediatricians, including:
- Why do kids today have more allergies?
- Is it all right for my daughter to wear nail polish?
- Are all plastics safe? Can they be microwaved?
- Is it safe to give my child cold and cough medications? Are antibiotics better?
- Is use of deodorants and antiperspirants linked to breast cancer?
In addition to explaining the hazards of commonly known materials such as lead and plastics, Dr. Cara Natterson exposes startling new evidence on seemingly benign products—like cell phones—which may in fact endanger us all. Whether it’s a plastic baby bottle or the pesticide spray in the grass, Dangerous or Safe? prepares parents for every possible hazard their child may face.
