Book review Is That a Fact? Dr. Joe Schwarcz
I have been reading Is That a Fact? by Dr. Joe Schwarcz which is a book about exposing the truth of frauds, quacks, and fear mongering with diet health claims, supplements claims and environmental issues which have no or scant scientific basis. The book also has a section that discusses the misunderstanding of GMO foods particularly foods that are not genetically modified; however, the media and activists assert certain foods are GMOs when in fact they are not.
Dr. Joe Schwarcz’s book illuminates the lack of scientific reasoning behind the unscrupulous marketers and profit-oriented companies, environmental activists, charlatans, and TV personalities. This book is for the skeptic or a person know does not understand the science or the lack of science behind the products they use or views they endorse.
I highly recommend it. It is a short easy read based on short stories for each particular untruthful claim which will enlighten you with the facts you need to help you put unverified exaggerated claims in perspective.
