Misinformation on social media has always been a problem. Whether it’s science, politics, popular culture, or any other topic, you can be sure there will be different opinions and heated conversations. Some of the most misrepresented subjects are nutrition, diet, and body image, as they are all subjects related to showing off a certain lifestyle or body type. Learn how to not be misled by social media influencers.
