Summary:
As consumers of medical news, how can we know whether the article we just read is based on solid science or is just an ill-informed attempt to grab readers? Professor Roy Benaroch of Emory University School of
Medicine
provides just the direction we need in The
Skeptic
's
Guide
to
Health
,
Medicine
, and the
Media
. In 24 fascinating lectures that address the most important
health
issues of our day -- heart
health
, obesity, longevity, the opioid crisis, the stigma of mental illness, alternative
medicine
approaches, toxins in the environment, and more -- Dr. Benaroch shows us how to recognize the good reporting and the bad. With his guidance, you'll create a '
Skeptic
's Toolkit,' asking the questions that take you past the headlines and beyond the way
health
news is typically reported. You'll learn six specific questions to always keep in mind as you read any article in print or online: What'
s
the source of the article? Is the evidence presented strong enough to be valuable? Is someone trying to sell me something? Is this study about people like me, and are the factors they're measuring in the study important to me? Does the report present a viewpoint from scientists not directly involved in the study? And is the story itself sensible, fitting in with what we already know? Armed with these questions, you'll be able to find valuable information to help inform your own
health
care decisions, without falling prey to snappy-sounding articles that have no basis in solid science.
