Politics and vaccine misinformation: A horrifyingly bad mix - Healthy Debate
Antivaccine beliefs reside most often on the political right. We must confront this reality and devise evidence-informed strategies to counter this trend.

5 things about supplements theconversation.com/five-things-...

1. Start with food, not supplements
2. Might be taking too much
3. Don’t trust social media advice
4. Supplement industry more about sales than science
5. Some supplements aren’t safe

And... lightly regulated!

🚩 Red flag for bunk!
Five things I wish people knew about supplements – by a nutritionist
From gummies promising to eradicate cellulite to brain-boosting powders, supplements are big business. But the science is often shaky.

Reality: immigration ≠ crime.

Studies consistently show that immigrants do NOT increase crime (on the contrary).

The lie has been so normalized (usually via scary anecdoates) that few politicians or news outlets speak up.

Eg: www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/cha...

Does immigration really increase crime?
Study shows that migrants don’t cause crime rates to increase but false perceptions endure.
