How do we know if a treatment works or if something causes cancer? Who tried to convince us that the MMR vaccine could cause autism? Ben Goldacre masterfully dismantles the pseudoscience behind many supposedly miraculous remedies, revealing the fascinating story of how we came to believe what we believe and providing us with the tools to discover fraudulent science for ourselves. This book is an essential guide to understanding and questioning the scientific information that constantly bombards us.
