This could have just been an oversight, but I feel it was an oversight that should have been picked up.

The author has chosen it to indicate that the world is heading towards danger at an alarming rate with no clue given to us. I’m thinking of following some of his recipes for personal hygiene and cleaning products and giving them as Christmas gifts. Therefore, on this basis I just don’t think the credibility is there as I don’t believe enough ‘fact-checking’ has taken place.

But can I change the mind of 7 billion people, including greedy and money hungry corporations who could not care less about the well-being of earth? God knows how long you have to read to get to anything useful but I’d reached my limit by about page 3. Fatal Conveniences as the title reads is an insightful and informative read from author Darin Olien. Furthermore, Olien's personal connection to the subject matter adds an emotional depth to the narrative.PFASs have been linked to kidney cancer, testicular cancer, liver disease, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, difficulties during pregnancy, suppressed immune systems in children, and low birth weight, among other problems and conditions. Olien provides practical tips for identifying and replacing toxic products with healthier alternatives, emphasizing the importance of creating a safe and non-toxic living environment.

He discusses the dangers of indoor and outdoor air pollution, including harmful particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).While he does provide alternative options for some of the products, I would take them with a grain of salt as the advertisement for certain products feels like a sales pitch. Their praise underscores the urgency of Olien's message and the need for individuals to become informed consumers, advocating for their own well-being and that of the planet. He presents a wealth of scientific and medical information in a clear and accessible manner, making complex topics easy to understand. It’s then that he began to pursue a healthier lifestyle and deeper understanding of how hydration, nutrition, and exercise can truly impact the human body.
