Not everything written on the Internet is true. Even in the scientific community, there is both good research and bad research. It takes professional knowledge to fully understand and interpret a research article—after all, they were written for the scientific community, and not for laymen, to read. Unfortunately, some people who do not have specialist knowledge or experience, and who cannot differentiate between bad research and good research, read scientific papers and reach wrong conclusions. Experiments must be repeatable and must reach consistent results. Good research is often recognized and acknowledged by large organizations or published in well-reputed journals. A single paper, or a few opinions even from professionals, is not good enough. Instead of basing health decisions on poorly substantiated articles, it is better to aim for an overall healthy lifestyle, backed by good research and well-established science.

網路上的一切並非全部都是真實的。即使在科學界，研究也有優劣之分。它需要專業知識來充分理解及詮釋一篇研究論文──畢竟，這些文章是寫給科學界看的，而不是寫給非業內人士看的。不幸的是，有些人並不具備專業的知識或經驗，無法區分研究報告的優劣，在閱讀這些科學報告後卻得出錯誤的結論。實驗必須要有可重複性，並且必須達到一致的結果。優質的研究報告通常會得到大型機構的承認和認可，或發表於知名期刊上。哪怕是來自於專業人士的單篇論文、或部分觀點，都是不夠好的。與其依據沒有足夠論據支持的文章來做健康方面的決定，不如以優質研究及成熟科學理論為基礎，以更健康的生活方式為目標。
