Transcript

New research says social media influencers give bad health and diet advice eight out of nine times, but that too is misleading. This article is about a study looking at how trustworthy health influencers are. It implies that 89% of all diet and fitness advice is bad. But really, the study only analyzed nine blogs, which is not a good statistical sample set. And it found that eight of them had some issues, not that they were 100% bad. The healthiest diet is keto. Carnivore. The doctor buy my book diet. Just like some people might get disaster pants from drinking a milkshake, but others can tolerate it just fine. Most things in health vary a lot based on individual biology. I'm skinny, so take these or do that, and you can be too. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

This all-natural chemical-free ancient herb will detox your liver. It's more likely that your liver will detox it. Big pharma is so evil they don't want you to know about this unpatentable, recently discovered ancient Tibetan pooping pill. Only 3999 with a money-back guarantee. It's ancient quantum science!
