你的對生活已經非常的注重。不需要浪費錢買這種書來浪費自己書櫃上的空間。繼續保持下去，就會維持你現有的健康無毒生活。

8~15 Generally Toxic 一般中毒

You can consider buying this book to help you decrease the toxins that effect you in your surroundings and in your food.  Your toxicity is not serious, so it won't be hard to lower the amount of toxins around you at all.

16~22 Very Toxic 中度中毒

Like me, you need this book to help you lower the toxins around your environment.  Things are not as bad as you think, though.  Little minute details like eating more veggies and fruit, exercising more, and drinking more water will already vastly improve your health.  Stop thinking, though, and click on the link below to get yourself a copy of this book!

你跟我一樣，需要這本書來降低自己身活周遭的毒素。不過情況沒有想像的糟糕。只要改變一些習慣，例如多吃幾份蔬果、少吃油炸物、多喝水、多運動，就可以輕鬆降低毒素侵害自己的身體及健康。不要在考慮。身上有閒錢，就趕快去買一本回來看！

23~30 Severly Toxic 嚴重中毒

Why aren't you reading this book?  Why are you hesitating?  This questionnaire has proven to you how toxic you are and how the toxins in your surrounds are affecting your health.  You are among the ones that should read this book like you read the Bible!  Don't just read it.  Use it to change your way of living.  Or else, your body will always have problems on a regular basis!  What are you waiting for?  Go and get yourself a copy!

為什麼你還沒買這本書？你在猶豫什麼？這個測驗已經告訴了你，你的生活習慣已經嚴重的被周遭的毒素影響了自己的健康！你是最應該買這本書回來看的！光看還不夠。一定要設法改變一些習慣。不然身體一定常常出狀況！還等什麼？去買啊！！

*These questions were selectively picked out from the 65-question Toxicity Questionnaire found on pages 53~61 in Randall Fitzgerald's The Hundred-Year Lie: How to Protect Yourself from the Chemicals That Are Destroying Your Health.  I took the pleasure in writing up the result descriptions myself.

*這些問題是從【無毒生活】中65題中非隨機選出來的30題。結果分析是我自己隨便亂寫的。

**基本上我是超級不推薦中文版。光看名字就知道，原本書名中的強烈語氣已經削弱許多。在網路上稍微找了一下書評，果然大家對這本書帶來的衝擊沒有我想像中的強烈。怎麼會這樣呢？我開始翻幾頁以後我就停不下來。想要趕快了解身邊周遭還有哪些恐怖的毒素是我們平時不知道的。怎麼感覺上大家對中文版的反應就沒有這麼強烈？Is it just me, or what?
