"It’s impossible to be knowledgeable about all health claims, but being able to spot patterns can help you spot fakery," Dr. Mughal emphasized, highlighting the importance of developing skills to detect misinformation in health advice.
"Absolute language doesn’t belong in health advice because they don’t consider individual differences... No one who is truly evidence-based would use terms like these," Dr. Mughal stated, warning against oversimplified health information.
"The promise of a quick fix is always a massive red flag... Silver-bullet-type content tends to garner more engagements, clicks, and likes," he explained, underscoring the dangers of seeking immediate solutions to complex health issues.
Health misinformation can cause real damage to physical and mental health so it’s crucial to learn how to spot it," Dr. Mughal asserted, emphasizing the vital need for awareness regarding misleading health information.
