N2  - This book impacts our families directly. Modern food regulation is about determining what is that right dose in our daily diet. We know pesticides are toxins, chemicals designed to kill insects and other creatures at low doses. Unless human exposure to toxins is regulated and minimised, there are serious health implications. Therefore, it is critical to determine the amount of pesticides we can be exposed to over a lifetime and to regulate the registration and use of toxins in our agriculture and in food. Read about all these and more on the various food items we eat and how to cope with the issues that these bring along. Publisher Description.
