Lead Babies Book by J. Cerazy and S. Cottingham

Lead Babies: How heavy metals are causing our children's autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, low IQ and behavioral problems. 

by Joanna Cerazy and Sandra Cottingham

Lead Babies is a groundbreaking resource for parents, caregivers, and health advocates concerned about childhood lead exposure. Written by public health experts Johanna Cottingham and Joanna Cerazy, the book reveals how even small amounts of lead can quietly affect a child’s development — from learning and behavior to long-term health outcomes.

This book explains in clear practical language:

• What dangers lead brings and how these dangers have been addressed historically.
• Where lead hides in homes, soil, and everyday objects.
• How children are most at risk (especially during pregnancy and early childhood).
• What parents can do to protect their families through prevention, testing, and safer choices.
• Why awareness matters, even in communities where lead is often overlooked.

With scientific evidence, historical context, and actionable advice, Lead Babies empowers families to recognize hidden dangers and break the cycle of exposure for future generations.
