This guide to consumer health contains two parts, the first of which covers consumerism, cosmetics (aids for skin problems, dandruff, deodorants, dentifrices), food shopping, and clothes shopping. Part 2 discusses health quackery, including arthritis quackery, and mail-order "doctoring", food quackery, weight-reducing products, and how to recognize health quackery. It also deals with over-the-counter drugs, choosing a doctor, and food fallacies. Both parts 1 and 2 include lists of things to discuss and do, suggestions for special research, and a test on the material covered. Resource materials, behavioral objectives, and page notes are included for teachers using this guide. (MK)
