Book Review: Bad Science and Bad Pharma By Ben Goldacre

Bad Science by Ben Goldacre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fantastic read. This should be a compulsory reading for everyone. Bad Science is such an eye opening book into what really goes on in the academic world and the media.

I found it amazing to read about things such as spa detoxes and seeing how gullible people are by buying into it; because when it's written in black and white, the lack of true science behind it is so obvious. Although this is by no means a light read, the science and techno-babble is clearly explained and remains entertaining till the end. Definitely worth reading.

Bad Pharma: How medicine is broken, and how we can fix it by Ben Goldacre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a book that everyone on the planet should read!! Shocking, infuriating, a total eye opener and a must read.

This book will make you think twice about anything you heard relating to the Drug industry. Incredibly informative and written in a way where all the complicated science stuff is explained so that anyone can understand it without looking in a dictionary every five seconds.

I love the fact that Ben Goldacre has made this knowledge available to the public. After all, the things that happen in the Pharmaceutical industry will effect us in the real world and we deserve to know what they are hiding. If you think that you will ever be given a prescription by your doctor then you must read this.
