Document Summary

Ben goldacre: battling bad science: epidemiology is the science of how we know in the real world what is good for you or bad for you. It"s important to unpick the science behind dodgy claims: unpicking these dodgy claims is not a nasty activity, it"s socially useful. It is important to consider all the surrounding factors as well during a claim, for exampole a study that claims eating certain foods decrease your chances at cancer.
