Can we trust review sites?
fitness essentials, tips & tricks No Comments »A while ago, we had an informal breakfast meeting with some friends in the office. One of the topics opened was “can we really trust diet pill reviews?”, that is regarding the effectively of their pills. The fun chatting came to a serious conversation as everyone of us had previous experience with review sites.
So can we really trust them? The answer really depends on what site, how it is presented, and the details they are presenting. Say for example unofficial review sites from forums. We cannot really rely on them because some of the posters might have been paid to make that post. Blogs are even worse because it may be a paid blog for the product. FDA official sites however are good references. It’s actually the only good reference I know of. The topic ended with “just use our common sense and just ask a doctor”.
