Negative Positive
Title: Unconvinced
Review: I came away from this book wondering how it got published.Concerns about kids and cancer are raised but never substantiated; worse, when scientists say there's no cause for concern, the book attempts to discredit the scientists and keep peddling the concerns.The same holds true for most of the issues raised; time and again, scientists say a particular issue is not a problem, but the book's author and his main protagonist doggedly maintain there COULD be a problem.The author goes well beyond the precautionary principle he freely advocates; he seems to expect scientific assurance of zero risk.Scientists who disagree are demonized and discredited. Lay people who agree with the book's thesis are quoted liberally.By the time I got to the Brahma bull that calved (bulls don't bear offspring, folks)on page 44, I was convinced of only one thing: this book cannot deliver on its publisher's hype.Disappointing.
