The Hundred-Year Lie: How Food and Medicine are Destroying Your Health

by Randall Fitzgerald

For 100 years, our grandparents, parents, ourselves and our children have been guinea pigs: now laced with over 700 toxins in our bodies, our disease rates are climbing to the moon and there is no return trip if we keep allowing our foods, body and home products to contain chemicals.

This 255 page book takes a hard look at the changes that have been wrought over the last 100 years in the mental, emotional and physical health of millions of people due to chemicals, and dares to tell the reader that its time to stop being a lab experiment.

Here are some of the myths that are posed in this book, and they give a good overview of the apathy that has led us to early and mass disease, suffering, and death.

• Toxicity is Someone Else’s Problem
• The Government Knows What is Safe
• There is Truth in Labeling
• Food Additives are Harmless
• Artificial Sweeteners are Safe
• Fluoridated Water is Healthy For Us
• We Get All the Vitamins We Need
• Vaccinations Are Always Beneficial
• Drugs Have Extended Our Life Spans
• Plastics Are Harmless
• Only Drugs Can Relieve Pain
• Ancient Physicians Were Unsophisticated

There are many more myths proposed in this scary and thought-provoking book, and most of us have been fed the lie, and swallowed it along with the additives in our foods. This book gives us the eye-opening facts with which to take action…to save ourselves.

Several people in this book have posed the question: Will our species survive? Considering that we are now the most toxic of all animals, we can either let chemicals continue to kill us, or we can take steps to protect ourselves.

This book has a revealing toxicity test. Here are just a few of the 65 questions:

• Do you use plastic containers to store food or drinking water?
• Do you eat microwaved foods that come packaged with plastic?
• Do you use deodorants, shampoos, and soaps?
• Do you use aftershave, lotions, or perfumes?
• Do you live or work in an area that has synthetic carpeting?
• Do you live or work in an area that has painted walls or ceilings?
• Do you use sugar substitutes or eat any foods that contain low-calorie sugar substitutes or sweeteners?
• Do you eat fat-free foods or snacks made with fat substitutes?
• Do you sometimes use bug-killers?

The test asks you to answer yes or no. Needless to say, almost all of us will answer yes to almost all the questions…showing how highly toxic our bodies are. There is a way out though, if you choose to take it: there are ways to detoxify and resources are given in this book for doing just that.

The author was prompted to write this book as he was ill, his family members and almost all of his friends were ill…and everyone was taking large amounts of prescription, chemical drugs to try and ‘fix themselves’. In-depth and rather disturbing discussions on the overmedicating of our children and population in general, the prevalence of chemicals in everything we eat, use and surround ourselves with, is followed by sound advice on how to rid your life of chemicals.

In doing some research, the author found that earlier cultures that relied on nature’s foods and plants to stay healthy had almost none of the diseases that are plaguing us today. You will marvel at how simple, and inexpensive it is to stay healthy with the right foods, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and approaches to health that kept our forefathers healthy.

This is the book to open your eyes to the ever-increasing toxins and carcinogens in our lives…and gives us a way out. You can turn it all around through awareness, acceptance that a large chemical problem exists, and by taking steps to personally step out of the chemical bath that we are all swimming in. An excellent book that could save lives, be sure and read this!
