Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

Claim by Mark Hyman, Barbara O’Neill: Sugar causes cancer; eliminating sugar from the diet can cure cancer
Health Feedback rating: Incorrect (Eating too much sugar can lead to obesity, and obesity is a cause of certain cancers. However, sugar in itself isn’t carcinogenic (cancer-causing). It’s an important fuel source for healthy cells. Removing sugar from one’s diet won’t cure cancer and could even be harmful to cancer patients.) Sugar isn’t inherently cancer-causing; no evidence that removing sugar from diet cures cancer |
