Medical headlines shape our food, our drugs, and our fears. But how much should we believe? In this episode, Dr. Michael Koren and Dr. Mitchell Rothstein explore how medical news is made, why headlines can be misleading, and how to tell the difference between evidence and hype.

Learn a simple 4-step practical framework to evaluate health claims: check the claim, evidence, source, and incentives. We discuss study design, relative vs. absolute risk, and reporting on topics like Lp(a), daily aspirin, coconut oil, ivermectin, omega-3 supplements, and others. We also cover dietary supplements, FDA oversight, and marketing claims that may mislead consumers.

Learn to read medical news with more confidence and make more informed health decisions. What health headline has you wondering what to believe?
