Before you believe the next viral health claim… try this.
You see a post saying:
“This peptide melts fat.”
or
“This supplement boosts testosterone by 300%.”
or
“This one food fixes insulin resistance.”
Sounds convincing.
But before sharing it, ask these 5 questions:
What’s the source?
Is it a qualified professional, a scientific paper, a company selling the product, or just a random account?
Was it actually studied in humans?
Animal and laboratory research can be interesting — but it doesn’t automatically prove the same effect in people.
How big was the study?
A tiny study can produce interesting findings without being enough to establish a reliable conclusion.
What did they actually measure?
“Improved a biomarker” isn’t necessarily the same as “improved your health.”
Is there a conflict of interest?
If someone is selling the exact product they’re claiming is revolutionary… that’s worth knowing. ![]()
