From the article:

"As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the internet — and they have very real repercussions."

It can be hard to sort out what is not proven evidence-based science from the quackery. Best to stick to reputable sites like Mayo, etc.

Agreed, Mayo, Medscape.
