But when there are multiple answers from various sources, how can we know what information is reliable? In "Monkeys, Myths and Molecules," bestselling author Dr. Joe Schwarcz takes a critical look at how facts are misconstrued in the media. He debunks the myths surrounding canned food, artificial dyes, SPF, homeopathy, cancer, chemicals present in our lives, and much more. Unafraid to expose the sheer nonsense people are led to believe about health, food, drugs, and our environment, Dr. Joe confronts pseudoscience and, convincingly and entertainingly, advocates for a scientific approach to the everyday. 650 0 $a Science $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Science $v Miscellanea. 650 0 $a Chemistry $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Chemistry $v Miscellanea. 776 1 $a Schwarcz, Joe, author. $t Monkeys, myths and molecules. $w (CaOONL)20149076320 941 $a 2 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20150911041007.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150702021113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E0C34FC208011E59F296EB6DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
