For those who may be interested, there's a downloadable ebook here entitled Cultural Dwarfs & Junk Journalism, by Martin Walker, debunking 'scientifically accurate articles about health'...

"Like other quackbusters (Dr Ben) Goldacre claims to write factually based and scientifically accurate articles about health, medicine and science either supporting scientists and doctors or criticising individuals involved in alternative or nutritional health care. Goldacre’s writing, however, actually reflects the ideology of powerful industrial, technological and political vested interests."

I made reference to this book on a blog I write for: http://www.soulandsoil.com/2008/01/04/goodbye-to-good-health/ and it seems Ben's team are keen to take issue with us unscientific types wherever possible.
