The Healthy Skeptic

I always enjoy a thorough debunking, and this book's got plenty. Sunscreen? Not so fast! Throw statins at your high cholesterol? Not so fast. But more than debunking via solid science, this book is about critical thinking and research skills, and about how humans are biased to believe opinions presented as facts. Recommended, if you like this sort of thing.
