This new book chronicles where progress has and hasn’t been made in safeguarding kids from environmental and dietary toxins since publication of the original Chemical-Free Kids in 2003, and explains why it is so essential for today’s families to become part of the “Organic Renaissance.”
With the help of lively cartoon graphics, the authors explore what makes “Mighty Micronutrients” so essential in children’s development, and how they’ve largely been replaced by “Sinister Synthetics” in the typical American diet.
They also describe how organic agriculture has restored much of the nutritional value that modern growing techniques have largely depleted in fruits and vegetables, and detail some of the hidden risks, such as those associated with genetically modified organisms, that lurk in non-organic processed foods containing supposed “natural” ingredients.

"This important guide provides profound insights into the value and benefits of organic food in helping today's kids to realize lifelong optimal health and well-being "

"In an era when parents instinctively know that something is wrong with our kids from the epidemics of obesity, hyperactivity, asthma and depression, to name a few, Chemical-Free Kids: The Organic Sequel is an important step in teaching parents that 'we are what we eat'. More than just advice to eat organic, this book provides an excellent introduction to the importance of micronutrients and their effect on all aspects of our body and mind when they are either present or absent. I hope that all those who care for our children will heed and implement the messages of this book. "
-- Steven R. Gundry, M.D., Medical Director of the International Heart and Lung Institute, The Center for Restorative Medicine, and author of Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution"
