Alice: Hey, Sarah! You won't believe what I just read online. There’s a post claiming that drinking a certain herbal tea can cure cancer completely!
Sarah: Wow, that sounds pretty bold. Where did you find that?
Alice: It was on a website a lot of people were sharing on social media. It looked convincing with all these testimonials.
Sarah: Hmm, I’d be careful with that. A lot of misinformation spreads online, especially about health. Did you check if it was from a trusted source?
Alice: Not really... It had so many likes and shares, so I just assumed it was true.
Sarah: That’s how fake news works, though. It gets shared because it tugs at people’s emotions. But when it comes to serious stuff like health, it’s important to verify things. You might want to check official health sites or consult a doctor.
Alice: You’re right. I didn’t even think about that. I’ll be more careful next time. Thanks for the advice!
Sarah: No problem! Better to double-check than risk believing something harmful, especially when it’s from the internet.
Why do you think people are so quick to believe health claims they see on social media without verifying the source?
