•Is 'Wellness' Bad News for Healthcare?
78% Informative
The wellness industry is blurring the lines of what healthcare is and confusing patients and providers alike.
Wellness companies use the same strategies as evidence-based medicine to sell tests for diseases that don't exist.
Under the guise of "prevention," unsupported and potentially dangerous claims can be made without evidence.
The 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act opened the floodgates to a lucrative market of unregulated dietary supplements.
Companies bulk up the perceived legitimacy of these products with buzzy phrases like "science backed" which sound like there might be clinical data.
Without the requirement of testing for safety, quality, and efficacy, many supplements are not only ineffective, but potentially harmful.
