Friends -

Saw this yesterday in the Wall Street Journal. It's a book review of Geoffrey C. Kabat's book Hyping Health Risks. This is the book where Kabat writes about how epidemiology is mis-used. I am so glad to see this happening. I do hope this gets MORE media attention.

I hope you all can access the link - if not, I'll paste a copy of the article.

Thanks!

Scared Senseless

Mr. Kabat was not prepared for this kind of...assault. But some good came of it: It provoked him to write this book.

Before I read the article that's exactly what I figured.

Enstrom, his partner in the 2003 study, started up a website because of it.
