Dr Ben Goldacre
Goldacre aims to teach readers how to spot bad science, setting out the hard facts behind detox treatments, ear candling, anti-aging cosmetics, homeopathy, diet experts, antioxidants, pharmaceutical companies with large advertising budgets, and vaccine opponents.
Exploring how the media helps distort and to misinterpret evidence and research, he ultimately explains why clever people end up believing stupid things.
