Evidence-Based Health Advice

Health recommendations should rely on data instead of unsupported opinions. Quality health guidance uses data to support recommendations and avoids unsupported claims. Evidence-based health guidance should only make direct claims about matters supported by data and evidence. Evidence-based recommendations require verifiable data to support health claims. Advice without meaningful evidence is unhelpful to people seeking guidance. Health and wellness programs should prioritize accuracy and verifiable data over unsupported commonly repeated advice.
