NOTES

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Talking to people who disagree with me is one of my favorite activities. I constantly meet individuals who are eager to share their views on science, despite the fact that they have never done an experiment or seen the results of one. #2 The Aqua Detox footbath is a detox footbath, one of many similar products. It has been promoted uncritically in some very embarrassing articles in the Telegraph, the Mirror, the Sunday Times, GQ magazine, and various TV shows. #3 The water in the Barbie Detox bath goes brown due to electrolysis, a simple process where the iron electrodes rust and the brown rust goes into the water. There are no toxins in the water, just lots of brown, rusty iron. #4 Some detox products now deny that toxins come out in the footbath, and claim that the water goes a bit brown without your feet in it. They also talk about the bioenergetic field and how stressful modern life is
