Don’t be misled by unreliable claims.
Claims about the effects of health actions that are not supported by evidence from fair comparisons are not necessarily wrong, but there is not a reliable basis for believing them. Lots of things people say about what’s good or bad for our health have an unreliable basis.
Always ask: “What’s the basis for the claim?” and “Where’s the evidence?”
Explore concepts about claims:
Watch out for messages that are too good to be true.

Watch out for misconceptions about health actions.
Watch out for mistaken beliefs about sources.
Always ask:
What’s the basis for the claim? Where’s the evidence?
