Just saw this in my feed. Bullshit detector on high alert, I decided to amuse myself by checking it out and reviewing the sources to find out where the support for the headline came from. This article says: Source: fashionmg-style. Doesnt *seeeeeem* like a reliable source for medical advice, but hey... I clicked through. What I found was a virtually identical (ie. word-for-word) article, at the bottom of which said: Source Fitfoodhouse.net. Well gosh, that too did not seem like a reliable medical website, so I knew this wouldnt be the end of the chain. When I got to Fitfoodhouse.net, the article was identical AGAIN... word-for-word. But this time, tragically, there was no link to these scientists who were supposedly researching dandelion roots amazing properties at the University of Windsor, Canada. So I did some more digging and went straight to the University of Windsors website, which hosts a page and some press releases regarding their Dandelion Root Project: staging.uwindsor.ca/dandelionrootproject/ Great! Now were getting somewhere, right? Well... Yes and no... You see, far from being more effective than chemotherapy, what I discovered was that just 5 years ago, a couple researchers started a very small project that is now in Phase I of clinical trials. In short, just about nothing is known about the efficacy of dandelion root. The problem here is that I had to go through 3 identical layers of bullshit articles to find out that what I suspected from the beginning was correct. Im going to bet not a lot of people are going to do that.
