For that matter, I'd be careful with anything related to Dr. Mercola.

I'm finding a somewhat useful acid test for internet Dr/Gurus.
Google:
debunking dr ______ (fill in any guru's name)
Quackwatch, Snopes, Stats, and other debunking/mythbusting sites can be helpful/informative in wading through some of this stuff (but some can also be as bogus as the topics they debunk!
)
Some gurus, like Mercola, Oz, and some others mentioned here from time to time contain pages of critical articles debunking their claims/statements. Numbers of articles have
some weight, but sources & science have more, IMO.
Others, like Dr. Sahelian, show only articles in which
he is debunking some myth or other. (Not an endorsment; I don't agree with everything he says either, but I haven't personally seen anyone call him a quack yet.
)
There are things to agree & disagree with - good and bad information - everywhere, and good information usually shows/holds up with several corroborating reputable sources. Bad/mis-information can occasionally, but we all have to weigh all sides of issues and decide for ourselves.
Just a tip for finding some of those sides.
Doc
PS - I
spoze Dr. Mercola's "glowing" complexion
could be explained away by bad make-up or bad tanning (chemical or UV), but IME that's often accompanied by bad toupées/combovers, and/or gaudy gold jewelry... (Haven't seen the video...)
