Poison with a Capital C / Thrash, Agatha M & Calvin L Jr, MD / (SS/1991-1991/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is gently used and clean.*

The "brown drinks" are an insidious army of substances related to each other by their similar style of clandestine warfare against the human body. Like the sirens of Greek mythology the brown drinks are every bit as bewitching. Their sone is sweet, but the end is bitter indeed. Preventionists Agatha and Calvin Trash tell the problems with coffee, tea, colas and chocolate.
Even decaf coffee contains cancer-producing chemicals called methylxanthines, and some "brown drinks" may also contain contaminants ranging from solvents to insect parts.
