Dear reader,

As an EWG Action Fund supporter, you care about the risks that toxic chemicals pose to your health and the health of America's children.

**So you'll want to watch CNN starting tonight for Dr. Sanjay Gupta's special two-part investigative report *Toxic America* (airing 8 PM ET June 2 and 3).**

In the June 3 broadcast, I debate the head of an industry-funded front group. Also included in the hour-long segment will be an interview with Healthy Child Healthy World founders Nancy and Jim Chuda.
