MONKEYS, MYTHS, AND MOLECULES

The Internet is a powerful beast when it comes to science; in answer to any query you may have is just a few keystrokes away. But when there are multiple answers from various sources, how do we know what information is reliable? In Monkeys, Myths, and Molecules , best-selling author Doctor Joe Schwarcz takes a critical look at how facts are misconstrued in the media. He debunks the myths surrounding canned food, artificial dyes,SPF, homeopathy, cancer, chemicals and much more. Unafraid to expose the sheer nonsense people are led to believe about health, food, drugs, and our environment, Doctor Joe confronts pseudoscience and convincingly and entertainingly advocates for a scientific approach to everyday life.

He is director of McGill University Office for Science and Society and the author of 14 best-selling books. Well known for his informative and entertaining lectures, Dr, Schwarcz has received numerous awards for teaching and deciphering science for the public. He is the host of the radio program, The Dr Joe Show and has appeared hundreds of times on television.
