Haha! Nice topic. Deze vragen heb ik me ook regelmatig gesteld.

De psychologie van het ‘waarom’ hiervan is zeker boeiend.
Tijdens mijn studie moest ik voor een vak het boek ‘
Bad Science’ lezen van Ben Goldacre. Misschien ook iets voor jou.
Wat recensies die ik zo even random van bol.com pluk maar die wel ongeveer weergeven waar dit boek over gaat:
‘From an expert with a mail-order PhD to debunking the myths of homeopathy, Ben Goldacre talking the reader through some notable cases and shows how to you don't need a science degree to spot bad science yourself.'
Independent (Book of the Year)
‘His book aims to teach us better, in the hope that one day we write less nonsense.'
Daily Telegraph (Book of the Year)
‘For sheer savagery, the illusion-destroying, joyous attack on the self-regarding, know-nothing orthodoxies of the modern middle classes, Bad Science can not be beaten. You'll laugh your head off, then throw all those expensive health foods in the bin.'
Trevor Philips,
Observer (Book of the Year)
‘Unmissable... laying about himself in a froth of entirely justified indignation, Goldacre slams the mountebanks and bullshitters who misuse science. Few escape: drug companies, self-styled nutritionists, deluded researchers and journalists all get thoroughly duffed up. It is enormously enjoyable.'
The Times (Book of the Year)
