"With wisdom and wit, Sanjiv Chopra and Alan Lotvin show how to navigate the vast sea of health information, from vaccines to vitamins, cold remedies to colonoscopies, marijuana to mammograms. The reader will benefit from this prescription of a healthy dose of skepticism and common sense."—Jerome Groopman, MD, Recanati Professor, Harvard Medical School and author of How Doctors Think

"Doctor Chopra Says is a tremendously useful book.  It will help people who want to improve their health or avoid risks cut through the blizzard of claims in the popular media and understand the actual scientific evidence, or lack of it in many cases.   Even physicians may find it helpful, since it’s not easy for us to track down the basis for all of the tantalizing remedies or worrying hazards our patients ask us about.”—Nicholas H. Fiebach, MD, Professor of Clinical Medicine, Columbia University
