Endless health rumors not only appear in family Line groups and the sensational statements of TV doctors, but also in health products endorsed by pharmacists and nutritionists, "new health knowledge" from content farms, and even in best-selling health books, which are full of contradictions and alarmist claims, often leaving readers at a loss. Fortunately, Professor Lin Ching-Shun, who has served as a reviewer for over 60 top medical journals worldwide (including the New England Journal of Medicine, ranked number one), began writing articles in 2016 to help readers search for the latest journals, summarize, analyze, and provide detailed answers. His personal website, "Scientific Health Preservation," has investigated over a thousand health rumors and compiled them into the "Pseudoscience on the Dinner Table" series of books, of which this book is the latest collection of Q&A. After reading this series, not only can readers find answers to various medical rumors they have held for years, but they can also learn what true scientific writing entails.
