There is a an old saying,”it’s an ill wind that blows nobody good” and so it was, that Beth Terry came to write about her topic, which is also a bugbear of mine and has been for a very long time, and now that more definite evidence has come to light it’s of much more concern to me, especially because I have young grandchildren, so I’m delighted that Beth has written this book. I sincerely hope that everyone will read it, especially those with young children and anyone who suffers with asthma or any respiratory problems.

I feel so strongly about the dangers of plastic and especially heating food in a plastic container in a microwave oven, particularly with our very young, that I have emptied a very deep drawer in my kitchen that was full of every kind of plastic container, and I am gradually replacing it with glass, stainless steel and any other safe containers that I come across, I believe that children are intelligent enough to learn how to handle glass with care.

No grandchild of mine will ever eat or drink anything from a plastic container again, nor play with a plastic toy at their grandparents house.

This is an invaluable book for all concerned with the dangers of plastic.
