Undoubtedly the most important book I've read in the last 12 months. As in his newspaper column, but with more depth, he examines the claims of newspapers, pharmaceutical companies, health gurus and statisticians with a dispassionate and scientific eye. Ever wondered why everything seems to both cause cancer and prevent it at the same time? Been scared by the MMR vaccine? Been suspicious of 'expert' guests on tv programmes? Then this book is for you . . .
