Fact or Fiction: Become a Health Lie Detector | Dr. Roxie Becker

Figuring out whether someone is telling the truth or spouting lies can be difficult. But there are a number of ways that you can tell whether someone is full of hot air or is the real deal when it comes to making health claims online.

Nutrition specialist Dr. Roxie Becker shares the red flags you should be looking while watching so-called experts online.

She joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room podcast with a deep dive into the confusing and contradictory world of health information.

In this interview:

- Toxic claims: The dose makes the poison.

- Nutrient reductionism: A single nutrient without context is not the answer.

- Fear tactics: First we scare you then we sell you the solution.

- Facts without facts: Where is the reference?

- Animal studies: Humans aren't mice. So, is the data valid?
