Miracle Molecules of Our Age: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (Progress in Science: Life Sciences Update) (Report‪)‬

In his outstanding book, Power Aging (1), Gary Null spends much of the early part of the volume discussing the numerous man-made chemicals and components that constitute a major part of the problems with pollution and damage to human health. It is almost as though anything chemical which we manufacture and use in our world can damage us. Even the pharmaceuticals which have been designed and synthesised, especially to cure us, always have side-effects some of which appear to be at least as bad as the conditions that they were designed to abolish. In view of what Dr Null says, can we find any synthetic chemicals which are harmless to man and yet have useful and important health benefits for which they were not designed?
