    Fact Check

    Does raw food cure a laundry list of health conditions including autism, HIV and cancer?

  • Fact Check: NO Evidence We Can 'Eat Our Way Out Of This Pandemic' By Eating Leeks

    Fact Check

    Can we "eat our way out of this pandemic" by eating leeks?

  • Fact Check: Asparagus Does NOT Cure Cancer

    Fact Check

    Does asparagus cure cancer? No, that's not true: While asparagus could be part of an overall healthy plant-based diet to help lower cancer risks, it is not a miracle cure for cancer.
