Add Bad Science to your reading list. I ordered it as a result of someone on this forum mentioning it. It is wisely written, but hard to understand because the physician who wrote it is part of the U.K. health community and they do things way differently than we do here and there are many references to articles published there that I have never heard of. But the premise is good if you can wade through the sometimes difficult to understand language. (And I am not a novice to medical jargon)..Oh it is written by Ben Goldacre in 1998. (Not new at all) BUT it takes on not only homeopathy and the huge supplement industry but big pharma as well and a bit about nutrition fads.

Adds to anyone's general knowledge and kind of gives you a recharge of the old scientific method and ways to prove the facts of anything scientific...or disprove them.
