FADE AntiDrug Quackery Exposed

November 2, 2007

Linguistic analyis of websites designed to expose medical quackery rates MildGreens.Blogspot up there with the British Medical Journal [BMJ]. However a test of the anti-drug foundation FADE site finds some revealing insight….

Web site titled ‘ FADE Homepage Alcohol & Drug Info Methamphetamine (P) ‘

This web site is heavily laden with loosely defined terms and possibly pseudoscientific language. It is heavily using scientific jargon and may be doing this to bamboozle. However, it shows some possibility of critical thinking – but proceed with care. It also looks like this site is trying to sell stuff. Buyer Beware!

Check out the Quackometer yourself… or test your favorite pseudoscience site!
