  • ""A global experiment is in progress, and we are the guinea pigs. Tons of chemicals are released into the environment every day. The average citizen is not only unaware of this daily exposure, but of the long-term effects these toxic substances can have on living organisms. The majority of the 100,000 industrial compounds developed since World War II that are now in daily use around the world have never been tested for the type of consistent, low-level exposure we experience in our day-to-day lives. These compounds find their way into the body in a variety of ways: in the food we eat and the air we breathe, through contact with the skin, and in many cases passed from mother to infant in the womb. Up to 247 toxic substances have been found in newborns alone. Today we are handing down a toxic load to our children along with our genetic legacy. Carried out with intelligence and humor, Homo Toxicus explores the myriad links between these toxic substances and increasing health problems such as cancer, allergies, hyperactivity, and infertility. Interviews with industry scientists and independent researchers shed light on inconsistent standards used for evaluation and regulation of chemical agents. The findings are disturbing and strongly challenge us to re-evaluate the laws and procedures currently in place to safeguard our health against man-made chemicals and potential environmental pollutants.""

  • ""Chaque jour, des tonnes de substances toxiques sont libérées dans l'environnement sans que nous en connaissions les effets à long terme pour les êtres vivants. Certaines d'entre elles s'infiltrent à notre insu dans nos corps et dans celui de nos enfants. En même temps que notre patrimoine génétique, nous transmettons aujourd'hui à nos enfants notre patrimoine toxique. Dans une enquête inédite, menée avec rigueur et humour à partir de ses propres analyses de sang, la réalisatrice explore les liens entre ces substances toxiques et l'augmentation de certains problèmes de santé comme les cancers, l'hyperactivité des enfants et les problèmes de fertilité. Les conclusions sont troublantes et remettent en question notre mode de vie."--Conteneur."

  • ""Everyday, tons of chemicals are released into the environment, without ever knowing how toxic they are in the long term to living organisms. Moreover, the majority of the 100,000 molecules developed since World War II which are used in daily products have never been tested. Some of them found their way into our bodies and into fetuses. Up to 247 toxic substances have been found in new-borns. We are today bequeathing our toxic load to our children along with our DNA. In a hard-hitting investigation, carried out with intelligence and humor, director, Carole Poliquin, has her own blood tested and explores the links between those toxic substances and some rising health problems such as cancer, allergies, hyperactivity and infertility. Her findings are disturbing and strongly challenge our way of life" -- From container."
