Quack Quack: The Threat of Pseudoscience discusses various conspiracies and misinformation, especially in the medical field. Dr Joe Schwarcz focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation. 

Quack Quack is a very interesting read. It is an anthology debunking pseudoscientific health claims that can lead to serious harm. I can recommend this book to anyone who loves a scientific-based approach.
