The worst anti-science websites on the web
I keep seeing these sites used as "references."
Brian Dunning has updated his list of Top-10 Worst Anti-Science Web Sites, five of which provide low-quality health information and advice:
Natural News (promoted conspiracy theories that medical industry secretly wants to keep everyone sick, and conspires with the food industry to make people unhealthy, all driven by a massive plot of greed to sell poisonous medicines)
Mercola.com (aggressive promotion of "quack medical products"
DoctorOz.com (his web site is little more than "clickbait luring people . . . who might be looking for actual health advice to click on ads for Dr. Oz's "trusted sponsorship partners."
Foodbabe.com (her advice is "a crap shoot of common knowledge, fearmongering, gross scientific illiteracy, misinformation, and ideological nonsense."
Chopra.com ("claiming ayurvedic medical benefits from what amounts to little more than spiritualist word-salad mumbo jumbo, " including "'detoxification' . . . an implausible spiritual solution to a nonexistent physical problem."
