This book examines the history, culture, and science behind health myths. The word “myth” can have two quite different meanings: (1) a shared tradition or story and (2) a belief that can be falsified. Most previous books have focused on “busting” the second type of myth – explaining why the myth is false. In contrast, “Believe It or Not: The History, Culture, and Science Behind Health Beliefs and Practices” explores the cultural and religious origins of each belief or practice and how it varies among countries and, within countries, according to age, education, ethnicity, and urban vs rural location.

Most importantly, the book relies on systematic reviews and meta-analyses to assess the extent to which the health beliefs and practices are true and influence health status. Previous “myth-busting” books have not attempted rigorous, systematic evaluations of the scientific evidence for and against the beliefs and practices they discuss. This book includes a range of chapters dedicated to infection, skin and eye conditions, diet and food, and pregnancy and childbirth.

In an era when social media, fake news, and contradictory opinions are a mere click away, people deserve to understand the science underlying common health beliefs. Believe It or Not: The History, Culture, and Science Behind Health Beliefs and Practices is a valuable read for the general public, curious about health and science but without technical, scientific, or medical training.

这本书考察了健康谬误背后的历史、文化和科学。单词“谬误”可以有两种截然不同的含义：（1）一种共享的传统或故事；（2）一种可以被证伪的信念。大多数以前的书籍都侧重于“揭开”第二种类型的谬误——解释为什么这种谬误是错误的。相反，《《健康信仰和实践背后的历史、文化和科学》这本书探讨了每个信念或实践的文化和宗教起源，以及它在国家之间以及在国家内部根据年龄、教育水平、种族和城市 vs 乡村位置的不同而如何变化。

最重要的是，本书依赖系统审查和元分析来评估健康信念和实践的真实性及其对健康状态的影响。之前的“揭谎”书籍都没有尝试对它们讨论的信仰和实践的科学证据进行严格的、系统的评估。这本书包括一系列专门针对感染、皮肤和眼睛疾病、饮食和食物以及怀孕和分娩的章节。

在社交媒体上的假新闻、矛盾意见只需轻轻一点便可触手可及的时代，人们理应理解健康信念背后的科学。《《健康信仰和实践背后的历史、文化和科学》这本书对于对健康和科学充满好奇但没有技术、科学或医学培训的一般公众来说是一本很有价值的读物。
