Do You Believe in Magic?: The Sense and Nonsense of Alternative Medicine by Paul A. Offit

4.0

3.5 The author did some very interesting research about the supplement industry, and how it was able to block legislation or even shift the legislation more in its favor. Sometimes the book just reads as lists of symptoms, and sometimes the tone is a bit too pat (I think the author views this as a necessary corrective in shaping the dialogue and goes with this instead of a disingenuous even-handedness, which is a defensible choice but sometimes rubbed me the wrong way).

Very interesting and a fast read, and does get more even-handed at the end when discussing the placebo effect/placebo reaction.
