Is it Safe to Eat?
After reading The Hundred-Year Lie I proceeded to a more balanced book:
Is it Safe to Eat?: Enjoy Eating and Minimize Food Risks
The author advocates risk vs. benefit approach throughout the book and now I started to apply the definition of risk as “hazard * exposure” to other areas as well. Explanation about how and why GM food was developed as well as the story of BSE (mad cow disease) was very interesting because I knew very little about them. I studied chemistry in university and liked that the author included organic formulae to illustrate important chemicals and their mechanisms, for example, estrogen disrupters.
