Reviews

[Chuck Russo]

Loved this book. As the subtitle says, this book is "self defense against health scares & scams". It should be required reading for all reporters/journalists, and for that matter, for politicians too. The author also runs an excellent website - www.junkscience.com which chronicles junk science of all flavors - climate alarmism, health scares, environmental scares, etc.

[Godo Stoyke]

Ironic that science deniers speak of "junk science", when they base their claims on newspaper articles and business-funded websites, while scientists present actual data in peer-reviewed scientific journals. A very Orwellian title.

[Dean Akin]

Very informative. Exposes the fraud and greed that drive much of the speculative sciences today.

[Randall Scalise]

One-sided cherry picking by a paid shill. Avoid.

[BradMD]

10 out of 10! This is a great book. I am amazed that Steven J. Milloy, an attorney, is this great at medical statistics.

A lot of junk science out there this book talks about some of it.
