Health Blog Question

by Fantasy Cloud

So I see a lot of health blogs tend to have a lot of research posted near them. Is this required by the law or what? And how would you research this, it seems too complex to me.

    It may depend on the topic, such as a specific medication, etc. General exercise type blogs that I've seen tend to have less research.

    Have you narrowed down any specific health niches you are interested in?

    As far as I know it's not "required", but articles about certain topics would want to have some sources and references listed to give it some backing.

    If it's just a blog post on something like "The 10 Best Foods To Burn Fat" then I wouldn't bother.

    Just depends on the claims you're making. I would always recommend having an Internet Lawyer review your landers just to be sure!

    I have never ran into that issue. Not sure about the "laws" but I'm sure there are something.

    But there is also freedom of speech as well. My old articles I have just written what I thought, I would honestly not worry too much about it.

    You should be linking out to your sources already on your posts. Might be smart to put up some type of disclaimer. I'm sure you can find one you can work off of. Good luck with it.

    Not really required by law, but something to back up the claims they are making.

    For example, if one article says "This pill cures any type of cancer because it has the ingredients bla, bla and bla. Then, followed with a source.

    Then, you're going to ask: "How sure are you that this pill cures any type of cancer?!"

    Then, the source link will be the source of your answer.

    That's just it.

    It is not required unless it it something that would normally require a physician's recommendation. To research these things, it is actually best to go to who provides the product or service because they have the most to lose if there is any discrepancy. Because of this they are forthcoming with information in most cases, or at worst where they got it.
