Chiropractor and Author of Food Additives: A Shopper’s Guide To What’s Safe & What’s Not, Healthy Eating For People Who Don’t Have Time For It, and Dying to Look Good
Dr. Christine H. Farlow, D.C. is “The Ingredients Investigator.” She has been investigating and researching the safety of ingredients used in food, cosmetics and personal care products since 1991. She is committed to finding the truth about these chemicals, many not adequately tested and used far too often, by manufacturers in products we put in and on our bodies.
Dr. Farlow’s interest in the study of ingredient safety started with the “Healthy Eating” classes she held in her office. Each class included learning how to read and understand the ingredients on food labels. This led to the writing of her first book, FOOD ADDITIVES: A Shopper’s Guide To What’s Safe & What’s Not, first published in 1993, and now in its fifth revision, the 2007 Revised Edition.
Her awareness of the importance of the ingredients in products used on the skin and the potential for harm from unsafe ingredients absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, led Dr. Farlow to writing her third book, DYING TO LOOK GOOD, now in its completely revised and expanded, second edition. It classifies over 1300 cosmetic ingredients according to safety and lists over 750 safe products and where you can buy them.
In Latin, doctor means teacher. Dr. Farlow takes this seriously. She is dedicated to getting her message out and teaching people about how the choices we make about simple things like the food we eat and the products we use on our skin can have long-term detrimental effects on our health. Many of the diseases we see today, like cancer, heart disease and diabetes are related to our lifestyle choices. And we have control over the choices we make.
The study of nutrition and holistic health has been a passion for Dr. Farlow since 1975. Before she ever earned the title of doctor, people were coming to her unsolicited and asking for her advice. It just seemed natural that the next step would be to become a doctor and make it her business to counsel patients in health and nutrition.
Dr. Farlow is a Doctor of Chiropractic with a specialty in Nutrition. She practices chiropractic and nutritional counseling at her office in Escondido, CA, and also does telephone consultations.

Woah! Lotsa big words & amazing chemical understanding Christine! I’m so grateful that you’ve done the study & can explain it well in laymans terminology.
Isn’t is just so sad now that we cannot trust those who make decisions about what goes IN food & skin products? They should know better! They should DO better. What a sad world we live in now, where it’s ALL about money…..
The WORST offence must be in the medical line… where SUPPOSEDLY what one takes will make one well and healthy! Maybe a sequel for you Christine could be DYING TO LIVE..? : )
Keep up your great work and thank-you for imparting such important knowledge.

Thanks for your thoughts. This is exactly why we all need to become informed and not depend on the government, the media or the medical profession to give us our information.
When you are informed and you vote with your dollars, i.e. buy the healthy stuff, the industry will respond because for them, it’s all about profit.

Interesting! Can’t wait to download my free book. companies are sneaky AND the government gives them the key to the doors to do whatever they want. Money is powerful in this world, each of us have n obligation to take back those keys.

The first step is knowing that truth. Then you’re on you’re way to protecting yourself … when you take action. Use the information in that report and check all your labels.

I have had SERIOUS problems with insomnia, eczema, acne, and a host of other issues since I was a child (and I’m 49 now)! My husband and two sons also have various health problems and my dad died of colon cancer a few years ago. I have felt for a long time that chemicals and additives were causing serious health problems, but I didn’t know where to turn for help and information. It saddens and angers me that we are being lied to by government and industry and being sold products that are so very harmful to our health and quality of life.
Thank you for your many hours of research — and for finding products that are safe to use! I have just spent about an hour clicking various links from your emails and websites, downloading and reading lots of GREAT info — and ordering the special package you have available. I can’t wait to receive the books and start buying products that won’t hurt my family any more! I’m hopeful that through the information I’m learning from you I’ll be able to alleviate the health problems I and my loved ones are suffering from, prolong our lives, and increase our quality of life! THANKS SO MUCH for all you do!
