Book Review - Our Stolen Future

Our Stolen Future: Are We Threatening Our Fertility, Intelligence and Survival? A Scientific Detective Story. Colburn, T., Dumanoski, D., Peterson Myers, J.

Much like a juicy novel or revealing biography, I was unable to put this book down! It should be on everyone’s bookshelf. The evidence uncovered regarding the persistent effects of man-made chemicals is truly ground-breaking. Like many, I assumed the presence of man-made chemicals where partially responsible for a host of cancers and other degenerative conditions, but I did not consider the impact on fertility and sexual development of future generations. In addition, the evidence of exposure in the most remote places in the world was shocking.

Chapter by chapter, this book became more compelling. From Colburn’s frustrations to tie incidents of cancer to the presence of man-made chemicals and the many experiments showing that man-made chemicals act as estrogen disruptors, I became more aware of the frustration of those trying to study, educate and inform on this topic.


This is a must read!
