In the environment, xenobiotics include synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and industrial pollutants that would not be found in nature) and other toxic chemicals in the modern world is unavoidable. The evidence is mounting that a total body burden of toxins is contributing to the incidence and severity of a variety of chronic health conditions, including diabetes and a host of other neurological, immunological, and mitochondrial genotoxities (Institute for Functional Medicine).

This book will help you identify some of the risks of toxic exposures and need for particular nutrients to improve digestion and prevent metabolic syndrome.
