In the early 1990s, sympathetic juries awarded huge damages to women in a class action suit claiming injury from silicone breast implants. Shockingly, rigorous scientific studies of breast implants have now shown that there is no significant link between implants and disease. This book reveals the important differences in the way science, the law, and the public regard evidence--and not just in the breast implant controversy.
