    Fact Check

    Are proteins not real, and thus not an essential part of the human diet?

    Fact Check

    Is the sticky, gooey mucus produced by the body "the underlying cause" of all human disease?

  • Fact Check: NOT True That 'Radiation And Chemotherapy Actually Causes Cancer,' Except In Tiny Percentage of Cases

    Fact Check

    Is it true that chemotherapy and radiation "actually causes cancer"? No, that's not true: Both treatments are rigorously studied, evidence-based effective therapies against this disease: They cure cancer, not cause it.

    Fact Check

    Are packaged noodles unhealthy? Will the chemical tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) cause diseases if ingested?
