Back in 2003, the original Chemical-Free Kids was published with the intent of helping parents safeguard their children’s diet and environment from the many toxic perils that posed a threat to their health and well-being.

While Chemical-Free Kids remains a valuable guide to parents in showing the steps that can be taken to allay such concerns, a lot has happened since its publication. Due largely to the efforts of some dedicated researchers for such organizations as The Organic Center and the Center for Food Safety, there is now a much greater degree of scientific proof of the benefits of an organic diet and lifestyle. At the same time, considerably more information has been uncovered about the pernicious effects that toxic pesticides and chemical and biological manipulation can have on our health, the sustainability of our land, the purity of our water and the safety and nutritional value of our food.


So, to keep parents updated on such developments, we decided that a follow-up was in order – Chemical-Free Kids: The Organic Sequel.

Sinister SyntheticsThe theme we’ve chosen for this new book is a battle between “Mighty Mighty MicronutrientsMicronutrients” – the essential elements of a healthy diet – and “Sinister Synthetics” – the toxic or suspect substances that have replaced them in so many conventional and processed foods, as well as contributing to the polluting of our environment.
