Pickaxe Science

Enlightening and entertaining, Ciencia picareta sold more than 400,000 copies worldwide and was published in 18 countries, warning of untruths masquerading as science in the age of fake news.

Ben Goldacre warns about the amount of absurd information we receive disguised as scientific truth. We are bombarded with data about the benefits of homeopathy, the advantages of alternative medicine, and the success of certain diets, but in reality, few of these occurrences have any scientific basis to support them. The pharmaceutical industry benefits, and an army of charlatans promotes itself at the expense of poorly researched and carelessly disseminated information.
Rogue science will definitely change your behavior toward doctors and the scientific information you believe in.
