Negative Positive
Title: Looked very good until I found serious factual inaccuracies.
Review: I was very impressed with this book until I read the text of pgs. 168 and 169 where the author states that the drug DES was found to be harmful to prenatally exposed offspring in the 1950's and quickly removed from the market. He goes on to state that a woman born in 1965 with reproductive abnormalites like those caused by DES could not possibly have been exposed to DES "since DES had been removed from the market."In fact DES was found to cause reproductive harm in the 1940's but not banned from use in pregnant women until 1971. This physician is spreading inaccurate, potentially harmful "information." In light of this widely understood information that DES was not taken off the market for use in pregnant women until 1971, this reviewer has to place in consideration the accuracy of the other information in this book. The information as to the active time period of des use is not obsure and widely available to professionals in this field
Is the review positive or negative?
