Book Synopsis

What if everything you knew about the biology of body weight is wrong? According to compelling, leading-edge science, being overweight isn''t just the result of too many cheeseburgers and not enough cardio. Another silent factor is contributing mightily to our obesity epidemic: obesogens.

Even scarier: lab tests have proven that these chemicals can irreversibly re-program the expression of our genes, which means that obesity can become an inherited trait. The chemicals we''re exposed to will not just meaningfully affect our health, but our children''s health, and future generations as well.
