Bad Science is a must-read for anyone who wants to know the truth about health and science. It is a powerful indictment of the bad science industry, and it will change the way you think about health forever.

The Quacks

Quacks are people who sell miracle cures that don't work. They prey on the desperate and the gullible, and they make billions of dollars every year.

Goldacre exposes a number of quacks in Bad Science, including:

• Dr. Oz, the celebrity doctor who has promoted a number of unproven health claims.
• Dr. Andrew Weil, the holistic doctor who has sold millions of books on alternative medicine.
• Dr. Joseph Mercola, the natural health guru who has been accused of promoting dangerous products.

These quacks are dangerous. They sell products that don't work, and they give people false hope. They are a threat to public health.

The Hacks

Hacks are science writers who don't know what they're talking about. They write sensationalistic articles that mislead the public about health and science.

Goldacre exposes a number of hacks in Bad Science, including:

• Jenny McCarthy, the former Playboy model who became an anti-vaccine activist.
• David Wolfe, the raw food guru who has promoted a number of dangerous health claims.
• Dr. Mercola, who has also been accused of writing bad science journalism.

These hacks are dangerous too. They spread misinformation about health and science, and they can lead people to make bad decisions about their health.

The Big Pharma Flacks

Big Pharma flacks are PR professionals who work for pharmaceutical companies. Their job is to promote their companies' drugs, and they often do so by using misleading or inaccurate information.

Goldacre exposes a number of Big Pharma flacks in Bad Science, including:

• Scott Gottlieb, the former FDA commissioner who has been accused of being too close to the pharmaceutical industry.
• Dr. Richard Horton, the editor-in-chief of The Lancet, who has been accused of publishing biased research in favor of the pharmaceutical industry.
• Dr. Marcia Angell, the former editor-in-chief of The New England Journal of Medicine, who has been accused of taking money from pharmaceutical companies.

These Big Pharma flacks are dangerous too. They promote drugs that may not be safe or effective, and they can lead people to make bad decisions about their health.
