Who writes these articles?

Who writes these articles? Vague allusion like "you've probably heard of the dangers of..." without further clarification, statements like pasteurization (necessary to remove potentially deadly bacterial growth) being bad because it isn't "natural", "natural" being "the wise choice" (why?), middle school level physiological understanding, citations that are cherrypicked by name or irrelevant for the point argued... I had to check the qualification of the writer, who turned out to be "a writer and research analyst in the health and pharmaceutical space". So... not at all a doctor or nutritionist, huh? This is rather risky journalism when you're making risky implications like the potential of something (honey in this instance) to prevent cancer. Here's an idea, how about raising the bar for the review process or and having your articles be written by medical doctors, scientists, and nutritionists?

Promotes sponsors not your health.

This site is crazy wrong on so many levels. Eggs and dairy to lose weight, really? Three cups of coffee recommended per day, really? Their advise is to support their sponsors not your health. They should get sued.

Don't listen to the trolls

People here have lost their minds. This site is reliable and self-critical.

Has changed my health, my life.

When it comes to food, exercise, drugs my faith in them is assured.

Who cares about the politics?

Healthline has my full endorsement!

I went onto Healthline to learn about…

I went onto Healthline to learn about rheumatoid arthritis. Instead, I was subjected to anti-scientific woke gender propaganda, so I now know that Healthline is untrustworthy. I have also shared this info with other family members to warn them away from Healthline.

It’s reprehensible that a company that ostensibly promotes medical knowledge is instead engaging in malpractice by promoting the lie that those suffering from gender dysmorphia can change their sex which is scientifically impossible.

Healthline has chosen to promote genital mutilation and pumping artificial hormones into vulnerable, medically ill children and adults who have been falsely manipulated into believing that they can change their biological sex which is scientifically impossible instead of providing them with the compassionate mental health treatment that they desperately need.

You can perform surgery to remove a horn from a goat and graft it onto a horse, but that will not turn the horse into a unicorn.

Surprised Healthline is not yet trying to convince those suffering from anorexia nervosa that they’re also not mentally ill and that the public should support their delusions that they are overweight while in reality they are starving themselves to death.

Give them time though…especially if there’s any money to be made by exploiting the mentally ill.

HEALTHLINE IS HURTING YOU

Health line is jeopardizing innocent people’s health about mold, something that kills hundreds of people a year. This article about mold poisoning is COMPLETELY WRONG and extremely harmful to those suffering from this illness. Shame on health line and those doctors for approving information they knew nothing about. The doctors who approved the spotty and DANGEROUS research by the writer know damn well internal medicine and allergists DO NOT TREAT MOLD POISONING. It’s never taught to them because insurance has not figured out a way to cover it. Therefore, mold poisoning patients usually go through a cycle of doctor examinations and medicines before seeing an MD that SPECIALIZES in this. Those are the only people who know how to help because it’s still such an unresearched illness. An allergist could know what advice to give with specialization but yours just didn’t and was too lazy to do her job and check what she is approving. Please delete or rewrite article and find some credible to approve it. I’ll attach the harmful article below with some advice that actually helps so this website can go back to doing its job and helping people in need.

Won’t let me post article by Courtney Telloian

General steps to heal mold poisoning (steps that help all people effected with mold poisoning, some will need more serious help with positive binders (not negative ones like active charcoal the one mentioned in the article) and have a multi-year recovery help

1.remove self from environment and leave all belongings
2. Change diet to high protein high veggie diet, no processed food, meats, or sugars for inflammation in organs
3. See a doctor(most mold doctors are crooks so be aware, they know you are too sick to advocate for yourself and take advantage of you and get away with it because it hasn’t made its way into internal medicine practice yet so it’s very unregulated) and ask to take a mycotoxin test. If you come back positive for mold posoining buy L-Gluthathione to help break down the toxins easier.

There are many more steps and options to recovery based on the severity of cases but those 3 are universal for anyone thinking their health problems are related to mold

Won’t let me post article - google fatigue to flourish cirs treatment

Won’t let me post article - google The low mold diet jbnourishwell

Here are some links of information that actually help people with those symptoms. Maybe in the future now Health line can change the article so that others won’t take ur advice to NOT detox like I did and won’t end up far sicker almost one year later because of it.

Go "woke" and remain "broke".

Recently I looked up a review of a health product specifically hair loss (Nutrafol). In bold box is a statement from Healthline that they do not support that sexuality is binary. That they are only using the terms male / female and his /hers to use the same language as the manufacturer of this quack substance.
"A note on language
You’ll notice that the language used to share information about Nutrafol products is pretty binary, fluctuating between the use of “male” and “female” or “men” and “women.” "

Although we typically avoid language like this, we wanted to use the language the company uses to describe their products, as specificity and accuracy are key when reporting on products.
There is NO CREDIBLE scientific evidence that for humans, a third type of gamete exists (or ever existed). Let's call them Gamete 1 and Gamete 2. So, the reviewer's only credential is an alleged MS in Nursing. That is neither relevant nor persuasive as an argument. Therefore, the alleged review of this bogus product is one person's subjective (and likely paid) opinion of another person's vester interest opinion.
If you delight in the WOW (World of Wokiness) then it seems Healthline is for you. Serious people who seek objectivity through the scientific method to make informed factual decisions (myself), quickly cancel sites like Healthline.

Very unscientific

Very unscientific. Contains a large amount of false or unconfirmed medical claims, which it won't change or delete when you inform them its wrong.

Completely untrust worthy site

Completely untrust worthy site. It says coconut oil is good for heart. This is contrary to WHO guidelines. Basically coconut oil is high in saturated fats which leads to clogging of arteries. There are many other articales which are misleading as well. Not sure how it is showing high on google search.

A woke nightmare

It's not a medical site so much as a woke advocacy group using a claim to be a health resource as cover for its pseudoscience and extreme ideology. Lots of stuff about gay relationships, why lesbians should have sex with men identifying as gay women, and "health" couched in terms of intersectionality rather than simply, you know, health.

The capper was an article on why it's good to have fat people represented in media, all the more so if they're "queer" fat people (because the more intersectionality boxes you check, the holier you are, or something). I guess the fact that obesity is a leading cause of diabetes, heart disease, and early death doesn't matter to this alleged "health" website. What a joke!

One of the main bourgeois propaganda outlets. Nonsensical articles with obvious agendas. Extremely unscientific. Forced on people through google search top priority. Forces spyware on users as well. Disgraceful.

Very poor evidence for most of the claims made in this website. Why does it rank high on Google? Do any scientists check the facts before publishing the articles?
