Science is hard. It takes proof, testing, and reproducibility.

Pseudoscience? Easy. Just make it up, add fear, and watch it spread.

If you come across any claim like: "... is the only food in the World that can cure ... disease?"

This is a sign of checking the literature immediately 😀

Because, this type of claims most probably lack scientific background 👍

A common misunderstanding about evolution is the idea that it always produces organisms that are smarter, stronger, faster, or even perfectly suited to their environment.

Evolution doesn't make things better. It's a process, not a decision!

Things People Get Wrong About Evolution - Sciencing

People often misunderstand evolution, particularly its lack of intention, how quickly it can happen, and the fact it's still happening to us.

Is protein powder (whey protein) harmful? No. On the contrary, studies conducted so far show that whey protein is effective in increasing muscle protein synthesis and improving body composition.

One can find anything to criticize. Instead of focusing on the words, I suggest you focus on the content of the information.

I see that you don't pay any attention to grammar. You should write: "Great. You had to use the word "suggest." 😀

Don't get hung up on words!

Make sure to load up on probiotics, fiber, and healthy food.

Probiotics from fermented foods like yogurt can reduce the toxicity of plastic chemicals,

While fresh, nutritious, and minimally processed food lessen health risks.
