What happens when ideas presented as science lead us in the wrong direction?

History is filled with brilliant ideas that gave rise to disaster, and this book explores the most fascinatingand significantmissteps: from opium's heyday as the pain reliever of choice to recognition of opioids as a major cause of death in the U.S.  from the rise of trans fats as the golden ingredient for tastier, cheaper food to the heart disease epidemic that followed  and from the cries to ban DDT for the sake of the environment to an epidemic-level rise in world malaria.

These are today's sins of scienceas deplorable as mistaken past ideas about advocating racial purity or using lobotomies as a cure for mental illness. These unwitting errors add up to seven lessons both cautionary and profound, narrated by renowned author and speaker Paul A. Offit. Offit uses these lessons to investigate how we can separate good science from bad, using some of today's most controversial creationse-cigarettes, GMOs, drug treatments for ADHDas case studies. For every "Aha!" moment that should have been an "Oh no," this book is an engrossing account of how science has been misused disastrouslyand how we can learn to use its power for good.
