Description

The bestselling popular science author "has made it his mission to tackle myths about science and the so-called experts who spread them" (CBC Radio).

The internet is a powerful beast when it comes to science; the answer to any query you may have is just a few keystrokes away. But when there are multiple answers from various sources, how do we know what information is reliable? In Monkeys, Myths, and Molecules, bestselling author Dr. Joe Schwarcz takes a critical look at how facts are misconstrued in the media. He debunks the myths surrounding canned food, artificial dyes, SPF, homeopathy, cancer, chemicals, and much more.

Unafraid to expose the sheer nonsense people are led to believe about health, food, drugs, and our environment, Dr. Joe confronts pseudoscience and convincingly and entertainingly advocates for a scientific approach to everyday life.

"A compendium of short articles on a variety of subjects, written in a humorous, accessible style, and larded with intriguing trivia... Dr. Joe skewers food myths, opposition to GMOs, Dr. Oz, and Vani Hari, aka the Food Babe." -- Science-Based Medicine

"Ultimately, the author successfully demonstrates how claims should be queried and analyzed before they are accepted... Recommended for readers of health, nutrition, and popular science." -- Library Journal

"The book is chock-full of captivating anecdotes... The author engages readers with his wit and wisdom." -- The Canadian Jewish News
