Synopsis

A clever, thought-provoking guide that clarifies common medical misconceptions The average person only uses ten percent of his or her brain. Poor light ruins your eyesight. All natural medicines are safe. In this lively and informative guide, science writer Chris Wanjek dispels these and dozens of other popularly held medical myths and misconceptions. The second title in Wiley's Bad Science series, Bad Medicine begins by taking readers on a fantastic journey into the human body to shed some light on how it really works, answering basic questions about blood, how the immune system works, how food is turned to fuel, and much more. The book then sets the record straight on aging, disease, drugs, medical studies, risk, and the most commonly misrepresented medical facts reported by the media.
