from Inspire Health Podcast

This Episode is going to blow your mind!! Erik Rifkin PhD, an environmental scientist and author of "The Illusion of certainty," and most recently his book, "Interpreting Health Risks and Benefits,"breaks down the huge difference between "Relative Risk" VS "Absolute Risk"...and the difference is staggering!! We look at many commonplace medical tests and treatments and how effective they actually are when viewed through the lens of absolute risk rather than relative risk. Learn just how effective, or not, test such as mammograms, bone density tests, PSA testing, colonoscopy's, cholesterol medication and more actually are.   Prefer to watch this interview on YouTube?
