Doctor Examines Medical Advice From Non-Medical People

StockSnap/Pixabay

Paul Offit knows medicine.  And so he speaks from a position of some authority when he talks about issues with the human body and its care and maintenance. 

Dr. Offit notices that scientists are not really good at imparting simple, bumper-sticker information, so other people--politicians, actors, lobbyists, you name it--fill the breach. 

And that's what Dr. Offit addresses in his book .  It gives pointers on how to assess the quality of advice being given.  The author joins us.
