Health myths debunked is a practical guide to separating evidence from hype in the daily stream of health information, offering readers a clear, repeatable process for evaluating claims, tracing sources behind popular posts, resisting the siren call of sensational headlines that promise a universal cure or a magic diet, and acknowledging that science evolves through replication, debate, and careful weighing of context, dosage, side effects, and individual variation, including patient-centered outcomes, real-world examples, and practical checklists readers can apply in real life.In a digital era where a single post can reach millions within minutes, readers need a reliable framework for source evaluation, distinguishing correlation from causation, identifying biased framing, recognizing when marketing narratives masquerade as science, while learning to assess study design, sample size, funding sources, and potential conflicts of interest, all of which shape the trustworthiness and applicability of health information to one’s own life, and this includes learning how to interpret p-values, recognize effect sizes, and spot publication bias.
