Hot on the heels of his previous bestsellers, award-winning author Dr. Joe
Schwarcz's latest book, The Fly in the Ointment, doesn't disappoint. From
pesticides and environmental estrogens to lipsticks and garlic, Dr. Joe is
back to demystify the science that surrounds us. Why do some people drill
holes in their heads for "enlightenment"? How did a small chemical error
nearly convict the unfortunate Patricia Stallings for murdering her son? Where
does the expression "take a bromide" come from? Schwarcz investigates
aphrodisiacs, ddt, bottled water, vitamins, barbiturates, plastic wrap, and
smoked meat. He puts worries about acrylamide, preservatives, and waxed fruit
into perspective and unravels the mysteries of bulletproof vests, weight loss
diets, and "mad honey." From the fanciful to the factual, Dr. Joe Schwarcz
enlightens us all - no drills attached.
