  Antibiotics founded the fortunes of the drug industry and shaped the medical profession. But antibiotics put at risk our ability to resist disease, as new plagues of infection caused by Superbugs (bacteria that have learned to resist antibiotics) now threaten humanity. While antibiotics have been a miracle cure, conquering epidemic diseases once the scourge of humanity, they have also become a nightmare. Using evidence gathered from scientists, Geoffrey Cannon sets out to show that antibiotics as now used, do more harm than good. The book also includes a 50-page A-Z of every antibiotic now available. The author has also written The Food Scandal and Dieting Makes You Fat .
