Ben Goldacre's wise and witty bestseller, shortlisted for the
Samuel Johnson Prize, lifts the lid on quack doctors, flaky
statistics, scaremongering journalists and evil pharmaceutical
corporations. Since 2003 Dr Ben Goldacre has been exposing dodgy
medical data in his popular Guardian column. In this eye-opening
book he takes on the MMR hoax and misleading cosmetics ads,
acupuncture and homeopathy, vitamins and mankind's vexed
relationship with all manner of 'toxins'. Along the way, the
self-confessed 'Johnny Ball cum Witchfinder General' performs a
successful detox on a Barbie doll, sees his dead cat become a
certified nutritionist and probes the supposed medical
qualifications of 'Dr' Gillian McKeith. Full spleen and satire, Ben
Goldacre takes us on a hilarious, invigorating and ultimately
alarming journey through the bad science we are fed daily by hacks
and quacks.
