A Treatise on Adulterations of Food and Culinary Poisons by Frederick Accum, 1820.
This book was written by a famous English chemist and was an immediate success when it was first published and was into its fourth edition in only two years… but food adulteration statistics didn’t go down and Accum started to panic that instead of preventing it, he’d taught even more people how to do it, and he started vandalizing his own book in libraries and was forced to leave the country in disgrace.
