"Balloon Facts in Medicine and Health"

Sabri Ülker Vakfı Yayınları published "Hype," a bestseller in countries where it was released, in Turkish under the title "Myths and Misconceptions in Medicine and Health." Offering an engaging and informative look at the real science behind our most widespread beliefs and assumptions in healthcare, Myths and Misconceptions in Medicine and Health seeks to uncover scientific facts by questioning the accuracy of news stories we encounter in daily life and media. With rapidly developing communication channels, all information is now at our fingertips. When it comes to healthy living, diseases and treatments, we all become our own doctors first. By searching even the smallest symptom or doubt on the internet, we can instantly access millions of pieces of information. But how can we distinguish which of this information is correct and which is wrong amid this information pollution? Originally titled "Hype," one of the bestselling books of 2018 and co-authored by Medical Doctor Prof. Nina Shapiro and Kristin Loberg, "Myths and Misconceptions in Medicine and Health" was published by Sabri Ülker Vakfı Yayınları, which aims to bring fresh perspectives to nutrition and science publishing.

Is There Such a Thing as a Good Diet? Is Gluten Really That Bad?

The book explains conspiracy theories frequently discussed in health circles and important concepts such as correlation versus causation through a useful and well-designed study. Addressing some of the most popular habits people continue to engage in that can have unexpected consequences—such as "Is there such a thing as a scientifically proven best diet? Is gluten really that bad? Can detoxes be toxic? When does organic go overboard?"—the book aims to uncover what is real and what is myth in many subjects we have become preoccupied with. With more than 20 years of experience in both clinical and academic medicine through his work at Harvard and UCLA, Prof. Shapiro examines many aspects of health and nutrition in depth in the book—from exercise to supplements, from diets to alternative medicine. Prof. Shapiro describes the book as a careful and trustworthy guide that awakens individuals to the facts about popular health advice and helps them become informed health consumers and patients.
