Here is an excerpt from the book:

"Why Detox?

Reason #1: the line where your home ends and you begin is more blurry than ever.

We believe a home is more than just a box: it's sort of a second skin. It could be a third skin if you're counting clothes. So why would you clean your tub with harsh chemicals and then soak in it?

This is why all of our bodies are literally polluted.

This toxin buildup is called a "body burden" because it does just that - burden our bodies with toxic crap. A recent study proved this burden isn't just shouldered by adults: 287 chemicals (including pesticides, garbage waste, and flame retardants) were found in the bloodstream of newborn babies. Of those 287 chemicals, 180 are know to cause cancer in people or animals, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 cause birth defects in animals. Think about it: these babies were just released from what you'd think is the most sterile environment around, the womb. Talk about innocent victims.

It's disturbing information.

But don't freak out. Take a few deep breaths. Now, slowly walk over to your kitchen sink, then your bathroom sink, and throw away all the cleaning products you've stashed there. Wasn't that simple?

Danny's Tip: While you may think it's green to throw away all our toxic cleaning supplies into the trash and start fresh, think again. By tossing them in the trash, you're actually improperly disposing of household hazardous waste, which could end up leaking into our waterways. Instead, use up what you have and buy green the next time you stock up on cleaning supplies. But if you can't wait, then visit Earth911.org and find a local household hazardous waste drop-off site near you to dispose of these toxic cleaning supplies properly..."
