Analysis / Bias

In review, MindBodyGreen is a typical Mixed factual Pseudoscience website. They publish plenty of credible articles that do not make fantastic claims, but within these, there are those that claim herbs prevent cancer and cure disease. For example, in this article, the headline reads that Avacodos may cure Leukemia: Avocados Could Hold The Key To Curing Leukemia. A review of the article shows this to be misleading. Avocados are a great food source and loaded with plenty of nutrients, but this misleading headline does not match the article. MindBodyGreen also does not support the consensus of science when it comes to GMOs as most articles paint them in a negative light. Interestingly, they do support the consensus of science with Climate Change. We call this selective science that may be financially or politically biased. Other articles promote incredible benefits from herbs, diets, and exercise routines that simply are not validated through peer-reviewed science.

Failed Fact Checks

• They have not been fact-checked by a third party.
