Question from Sam
The teribly tragic disaster in Japan is still ongoing with recent reports of leaking still occuring.
With all this going on for so long and not likely to stop anytime soon, I’ve never seen any info about how safe Japanese products are. At the moment we are in need of buying a television and computer. Japan I believe makes alot of components that also are used in different companies. Knowing how secretlive the Japanese goverment has been with their own people, and how corporations are unlikely to be honest as well– has anyone seen anything about this? Can anyone recommend makers of tv’s, computers, cars and other electronics that would be safe?
Sad to say this is a reality we may be dealing with for some time to come. Safety of products need to be addressed.
Debra’s Answer
I haven’t seen anything on this.
The first thing that comes to mind is that there are probably a lot of products made in Japan already in the marketplace that were manufactured prior to the nuclear disaster.
And second, while I totally agree that safety of products needs to be addressed, in fact, we live in a world where they are not. Our best bet is to both do our best to choose the least toxic products AND make sure our bodies are in good shape to efficiently remove the toxic chemicals we are exposed to. This is my viewpoint in my new book Toxic Free, which gives a lot of information on how to do just this.
