Investigative journalist Nena Baker, author of The Body Toxic: How the Hazardous Chemistry of Everyday Things Threatens Our Health and Wellbeing, will be speaking at the downtown Powells this Thursday, August 20 (two days from now!) at 7:30 pm. Her work reveals a disturbing underside to many of the modern items we take for granted. What are flame retardents and waterproofers and other wonders of modernity actually doing to our endocrine systems? If you think there’s already someone regulating these complex chemicals, think again. Baker’s work provides a much-needed and slightly disturbing (though not alarmist), reality check for consumers.
