just prefer fiction and gravitated toward that instead of finishing this
Great topic for a book - lots of areas which deserve to be exposed as the rubbish they are (I'm looking at you 'Dr' Gillian McKeith...).
But...the author comes across as more than a little self righteous and patronising a lot of the time. Shocking behaviour from a medic I'm sure. It makes reading and enjoying the book that much harder when you feel like you'd quite like to give the author a quick punch. Would love to read something on the same area by a more competent author.

3.5 rounded up to a 4. Very informative. Certainly changes the way I view health products, products that tout their health benefits, or even beauty products infused with the latest .

Interesting contents, especially about how to interpret statistics. The editing (the non-existence of it) is just dreadful.
Brilliant and entertaining. And better examples for why something is true in statistics to the point that I can restate them.
How good is this book? So all of a sudden we've been getting more pipe noise in our house and not connected to use of faucets or appliances but in the general area where we've gotten it before and we are calling in a plumber. And I'm probably going to have to talk to the plumber. So I'm sitting here reading a book on doing real science and got to thinking on what the plumber is going to say. How often do you hear the noise? How long does it last? Where is the noise coming from? Apparently it was every 3 minutes for 30 second and about 12 minutes later I turned the water off to the toilet with a leak.
I've complained for years about how about the statistics reporting is in news stories. But I never gave it nearly the level the thought that this book does. And I wouldn't have expected it to be so funny. Worth re-reading. Worth owning.
