Ben Goldacre dismantles the bluff and BS underlying 'nutritionists', homeopathy and other alternative therapies. Do not assume for one second however that he thinks modern drug companies are brilliant as he takes them seriously to task as well. This is popular science at its best; well written, informative, witty and coming from the heart as well as the head. All MPs, MEPs etc should be forced to read this (and examined on their knowledge) before being allowed any vote on medicine regulation. I am glad that Ben Goldacre wrote this. Sad that there was the need to do so.

I have bought this book, as it is used for one of my Psychology modules. Once I picked it up, I couldn't get my nose out of it. It really helps you think outside of the box.

Great that a medical doctor with proven scientific knowledge is exposing false diet and health claims made by those who are making profit from gullible or vulnerable people.

Astonishing how much nonsense gets peddled, for commercial gain, and believed. Easy to read and written in a very amusing and lighthearted style, I’d recommend it. An eye-opener

Informative book - yet easy to read and assimilate. Made me look closer at some current modern perceptions. Recommend this book.
