list is
below. Any more suggestions? Book suggestions, NOT research
proposals.
Also, collections of taboo topics are desired over books about
individuals.
I don't now of a book, but the story of Helicobacter pylori is a
classic. Here is an article (from csicop no less) that provides lots
of references:

Maybe the subject is covered in one or more of the books below. It is
still controversial because a large number of people have
Helicobacter pylori without bad side effects. It may even prevent
cancer.
