- Summary
- "Every day, there's a new scientific or health controversy. And every day, it seems as if there's a new study that contradicts what you heard yesterday. What's really going on? Who's telling the truth? Who's faking it? What do scientists actually know - and what don't they know? This book will help cut through the confusion and make sense of it all." "Science educator and journalist Dr. Sherry Seethaler reveals how science and health research really work ... how to put scientific claims in context and understand the real tradeoffs involved ... tell quality research from junk science ... discover when someone's deliberately trying to fool you ... and find more information you can trust." "Seethaler reveals the tricks self-interested players use to mislead and confuse you, and points you to sources of information you can actually rely upon. Her many examples range from genetic engineering of crops to drug treatments for depression."--Jacket
