Can you spot a fake health article?

5. It's trying to sell you something

Health advice shouldn't come with a checkout link. If the article is pushing you to buy a product, it may be more about sales than science. Watch out for:

  • Phrases like "sponsored content" or "affiliate link."
  • Product discounts.
  • Articles that link to a specific store or brand.
  • Testimonials from other customers.
