To Your Health

Advance praise for To Your Health: If you've ever been confused over the conclusions of medical research and their implications for changing the style of the rest of your life, this is a book that can not only help you understand how compelling those conclusions really are, it may even help researchers and the media who report such research to actually get it right for a change . . . and it's a delightful read. Except for Section 3, intended for researchers, you won't need scientific training to wade right in. * Floyd E. Bloom, M.D., Former Editor-in-Chief, Science and Chairman, Department of Neuropharmacology, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California, USA * To Your Health is a clear, well-organized, and systematic guide to research about risk. This book can help clinician-scientists elevate the quality of their research and lead practitioners and the public to be more informed, measured, and critical interpreters of the results. * Harvey V. Fineberg, M.D., President, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC, USA * Helena Kraemer and David Kupfer have earned profound respect in the scientific community for excellent contributions over many years. They are rigorous and wise. This book reflects these attributes and accomplishments in a lucid, penetrating exposition of risk factors and health. It deserves a wide audience because it clarifies matters of great practical importance and personal concern. * David A. Hamburg, M.D. , Former President, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences and DeWitt Wallace Distinguished Scholar, Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, USA * This excellent explication of research risks, how to assess them and how to encourage better communication and understanding of the meaning and significance of research is excellent material for researchers, consumers, patients, and families . . . The authors are articulate, clear and concise. It is most informative. I happily recommend it. * Herbert Pardes, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, USA *
