2005-11-15 fascinating facts about poisons

I found this book really interesting. In fact I was amazed. I?d read so many things in magazines and papers about chemicals like dioxin and insecticides and just thought that they were all poisonous and dangerous. Then I read this book and found it wasn?t quite like that,because it depends on the amount and some of them are useful and make our lives better-like people now live longer and are healthier. The book also talks about how chemicals get inside us and what they do. Its explained really clearly, especially for someone like me who doesn?t have any scientific background. But there are also lots of interesting stories also about poisoning cases and historical stuff. Then at the end there is a section on risk from chemicals and how its measured, which was a bit complicated but really interesting. I?d recommend this book.
