Is HRT unsafe? Should you avoid giving peanut butter to small children? ‘Blind Spots’ uncovers how inaccurate research drives medical myths which can spark public health crises. Doctors said for decades that opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid crisis. They refused menopausal women hormone replacement therapy, causing unnecessary suffering. They demonised natural fat in foods, driving patients to eat processed carbohydrates as obesity soared. Modern medicine shines when it draws on good scientific studies. But when medicine is led by dogmatic groupthink, it’s everyday people who fall victim. This book examines the latest research to reveal the truths essential to our health.
