'Slow Death by Rubber Duck' is about two guys who isolate their bodies and record how it effects them from everyday products such as anti-bacterial handwash, tuna, Teflon cookware and much more.
The whole concept is interesting and the book does explain key points and history on the products and their toxicities, but I found it as if the authors were either trying too hard in their humour or seeming to be up themselves a bit.
In the end the experiments were a dud; very little to none results on the effects the products had on their bodies in such a short amount of time to really document it all into a book.
If you are interested in everyday products and their health concerns, I'm sure there are far more better books than this out there.
Overall I rate it 2 out of 5.

This book is stunning and sometimes shocking. It has opened my eyes and mind to how much toxicity we are exposed to every day. It makes me think again when I buy anti-bacterial and anything non-stick. The book talks about the issues with Mercury and flame-retardants as well as one of the more famous (or infamous) chemicals, BPA (think hard plastic - just about everything you touch). It's hard not to be affected by the book and I've taken a sensible approach to all the information or I may turn into a chemo-phobe! I highly recommend this book to anyone who read eco- or environmentally themed books.
