Funded by / Ownership

The website does not disclose ownership but is presumed to be owned by David Wolfe. Revenue is derived through advertising and a shop that sells pseudoscientific products.

Analysis / Bias

In review, the website offers stories with loaded emotional wording to scare people regarding their health, such as this HARVARD SCIENTIST URGES PEOPLE TO STOP DRINKING “LOW-FAT” AND SWEETENED MILK IMMEDIATELY. Interestingly this story is not linked to Harvard but to other questionable sites such as Rense, a non-credible pseudoscience website.



Other debunked claims by this website are that vaccines cause autism. They don’t. Further, he promotes dangerous cancer cures, which are not proven. Finally, he also encourages detoxification, which is unproven to work. In general, almost everything on this website needs to be questioned as almost everything clicked is either false or misleading.
