Nena Baker talked about her book The Body Toxic: How the Hazardous Chemistry
of Everyday Things Threatens Our Health and Well-Being (North Point Press;
August 5, 2008). Ms. Baker contends that the chemical make-up of several of
the products that make contemporary life easier and more convenient may be
responsible for serious health problems. She argues that the Toxic
Substances and Control Act of 1976 was ineffectual in regulating potential
industrial contaminants and presents her research on products that she deems
of possible danger, which range from the non-stick coating on cookware to
several different types of plastics. She read from the book and talked about
her research and how she came to write the book. She also shared changes she
had made in her own lifestyle as a result of this research. Ms. Baker also
responded to questions from members of the audience. This event was hosted
by Google at lunch hour in their headquarters in Mountain View, California.
Nena Baker has been a reporter for United Press International, The Arizona
Republic, and The Oregonian. She is currently a licensed private
investigator in Portland, Oregon.
