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!!
