I don't catch 20/20 very often anymore, but in general I like John Stossel. I enjoyed his first book, Give Me a Break, and I assumed I'd like this one. The entire title is Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel--Why Everything You Know Is Wrong.
Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. Regardless of the "experts" he consults for the couple of hundred "myths" contained in this book, you could easily find conflicting evidence supporting the "myths." And there's that organic food debacle of several years ago that will always cast a shadow on John's "research" . . .
Not recommended.
