Beard and Cerf cite convincing evidence that everyday things we consider healthy eating leafy greens, flossing, washing our hands are actually harmful, and items we thought were innocuous drinking straws, flip-flops, neckties, skinny jeans pose life-threatening dangers. Did you know that nearly ten thousand people are sent to A\u0026amp;E each year because of escalator accidents? And if you're crossing your legs right now, you're definitely at serious risk. Hilarious, insightful and, at times, downright terrifying, Encyclopedia Paranoiaca brings to light a whole host of hidden threats and looming dooms that make asteroid impacts, planetary pandemics and global warming look like a walk in the park (which is also emphatically not recommended).","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43934777639131,"sku":"9780715646069-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780715646069-us-300.jpg?v=1675309230","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780715646069-secondhand-encyclopedia-paranoiaca-the-definitive-compendium-of-things-you-absolutely-postively-must-not-eat-drink-wear-take-grow-make-buy-use","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
