I bought this book out of general health interest and less for an immediate baby interest. It is 'quite extreme' for the casual person interested in health improvement. If you are chronically ill or dealing with health problems you are more likely to accept the extremes (and they'll potentially have a bigger impact on your quality of life).There is a lot of information in this book and if you follow Dave Asprey's blog there are some good additional details here and there that you won't have already heard or seen in his posts. In particular in the areas of toxins and detoxification you'll find more details (or to a degree different information) than that found on his blog or podcast. I finished this book in a couple of days as a result, and took down some good notes on areas to investigate further and potential actions to take to improve my health. If you follow Dave's blog I imagine you'd find it similarly useful.Some of the new parts to me were:1. Some additional information on mycotoxins2. Information on supporting the body's detoxification process3. Some chemicals and materials in common household products that can be toxic4. Details on cooking methods to reduce damage to proteins and oxidisation5. Issues with waterThe problem with this book is that it lacks credibility. Dave Asprey has commented several times that he put a lot of effort into crosschecking references for this book (in fact he mentioned that he hired someone to do this). So I was disappointed when there were no citations in the book. There are many bold claims throughout the book and in many cases it references science and research without the actual references or citations. Very disappointing.
