The Science of Celebrity . . . or Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong about Everything? by Timothy Caulfield

4.0

The Science of Celebrity....or Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong about Everything? by Timothy Caulfield educates while it entertains. Professor Caulfield is an expert on ethics, science, health, law and the influence generated by famous people. Just because someone is an household name, does it mean that what they preach, recommend, endorse and promote is safe, tested and good for your body and your mind. We have reached a point where many of us believe celebrity Twitter feeds, facebook and all social media are filled with truth and good advice. Caulfield himself has put many an endorsement to the test, some of the results being somewhat lacking in usefulness, some of them downright comical. When it comes to science, one is better off taking the advice of professionals. Celebrity does not necessarily make one an expert. Educational and fun: enough reasons to read this book. Recommended.
