There are two new Chapters on Endocrine Disruptive Chemicals, and on Allergies. The Regulation Chapter has been drastically revised to reflect pending European regulations, and also changes in Japanese regulations. The Industry Trade Association Chapter has been drastically revised to reflect major bias in favor of the mainstream industries. The Neways Story Chapter has been revised to reflect advances in product and ingredient safety in the last few years. There is a drastically revised Ingredient Table, reflecting ingredients which have been and are being phased out, and replaced by safe alternatives.
