Avoid these web sites.

health.com

Junk science. Information on health.com could result in harmful consequences to your health.

Example: Google ranks health.com as the top two search results on "acid reflux natural remedies." The information provided on health.com can be harmful to individuals with acid reflux disease. Do not trust health.com and do not trust google.com for that matter since they rank this junk science page at the top.

huffingtonpost.com

Junk science. Promotes worthless alternative medicine such as homeopathy, detoxification, and the thoroughly debunked vaccine-autism link. Google loves the huffpost for ideological reasons rather than science and fact. The site is a magnet attracting idiots from all walks.
