Question 12 • Biology

A commercial on television advertises a new medicine that claims to boost immunity. You want to verify that the claim is scientifically based. Which source is least likely to provide you with accurate information about this new medicine?

Answer
A
a brochure from the doctor’s office
B
a magazine about entertainment and lifestyle trends
C
the website of the governmental agency that tests health products
D
the studies that the television ad cites

Explanation

An entertainment and lifestyle magazine is least likely to provide medically reliable, evidence-based information about a new medicine. A government agency that tests health products and the studies cited in the advertisement are more direct sources for checking scientific evidence. A doctor’s office brochure may also provide relevant health information, though it is still worth checking its sources.
