Robyn O’Brien is not the most likely candidate for an antiestablishment crusade. A Houston native from a conservative family, this MBA and married mother of four was not someone who gave much thought to misguided government agencies and chemicals in our food—until the day her youngest daughter had a violent allergic reaction to eggs, and everything changed. The Unhealthy Truth is both the story of how one brave woman chose to take on the system and a call to action that shows how each of us can do our part and keep our own families safe.
O’Brien turns to accredited research conducted in Europe that confirms the toxicity of America’s food supply, and traces the relationship between Big Food and Big Money that has ensured that the United States is one of the only developed countries in the world to allow hidden toxins in our food—toxins that can be blamed for the alarming recent increases in allergies, ADHD, cancer, and asthma among our children. Featuring recipes and an action plan for weaning your family off dangerous chemicals one step at a time The Unhealthy Truth is a must-read for every parent—and for every concerned citizen—in America today.

      When OBrien discovers that her third child has unexpectedly experienced a frightening allergic reaction, she commences an investigation to find out just what has set off this life-threatening episode. As she finds out, childhood allergies are apparently more common than ever before, and medical science has only barely begun to deal with what OBrien feels sure is an epidemic. Moreover, the field of study of childrens allergies is so new that even experts cannot yet agree on a common approach to treatment, leaving parents bewildered. OBrien blames many causes for the current situation: government, industry, agriculture, and a scientific community that doesnt always respond with the clarity, consistency, and urgency people might wish. OBrien is especially averse to the environmental implications of genetically modified organisms and wants all such threats to traditional agriculture stricken until, if ever, they can be proven benign.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
