Healthline Reviews 

Forces tracked ads. Which is illegal.

The evidence review process is misleading. Many of the references come from PubMed Central, which they note as a highly reputable source. However, it’s not the database they should be noting as reputable evidence. That database just stores the individual articles, it is not the original reference/source. Although they link to the reference, to be considered credible evidence, the reference itself and the study methods described in the article must be reviewed for bias and found to be low risk of bias. Many of the articles linked as sources are narrative review articles on the topic and not original research. Those types of review articles don’t qualify as real evidence according to the principles of evidence-based medicine. Evidence comes from original studies and systematic reviews/meta-analyses of multiple studies. The level/strength of evidence varies by study design and quality, but Healthline does not appear to evaluate the evidence in detail (ie, perform critical appraisal) to determine its validity. I have 15 years of experience in evidence-based medicine and critical appraisal and would not recommend Healthline as a strong source for evidence-based content, although the articles are fairly well written and provide general overviews on topics that might prompt readers to do more research on their own.

Whoever is in charge of rating the reviews is not doing their job. The best and most honest reviews are given 0-2 stars, while all the dis honest or mis-informed reviews get high ratings. Very very misleading. -10 stars.

Articles related to science and food do not seem to reflect current findings in studies and studies which are used are heavily biased funded studies promoting a particular agenda so very questionable science findings.

Check out the page on their site for: Ethmoid Sinusitis

"Sinuses help to filter, clean, and humidify inspired air. They also keep your head from becoming too heavy."

I was reading this after thinking, "Healthline. I think I remember reading some pretty sketchy things here." Awful. Really. Don't take much at "face" value here (nyuk).

Outstanding Customer Service. I would recommend Health Line to others. I live in Austin Texas and have been so fortunate to be connected to Health Line for my needs. The customer care I received from Bailey J. has been outstanding. Ms. Bailey has given me the most professional, patience, understanding and reliable service I have encountered in a long time. During this time of uncertainty telephone customer service is (even more) important. Thank you Healthline. Kudo's to Bailey J. and your entire team. H.D.

Scared the crap outta me when i had food poisoning, said i should get medical attention, i did and i was 100% fine.

The really negative reviews I see confuse me. I haven't had to provide any information to access the articles I've read. They seem to be balanced and carefully written to avoid an "adamant" stance, so that anyone reading the article knows they also need to read other stuff. They use articles published in peer-reviewed journals as resources. The articles are very readable, making them more accessible. In general, I've been very pleased, as they give me insight that I can then verify with other resources.

Ignore the low reviews on here, they are mostly from people's who have a political view that doesn't align with reality and science, and therefore they bash on this website. I have science degrees and can assure you that healthline is a good source for information. The claims on this website are generally backed up with studies straight from pubmed, which is considered the most reputable source in medicine and other biological fields. Healthline generally does not take a strong stance on anything, instead they list different perspectives, offering evidence for both sides. In doing so, this is one of the least biased sources on the internet I've come across. With so much misinformation on the internet about nutrition and health, this website is a breath of fresh air.

This website became absolutely ridiculous when it stopped using the words “men” and “women” and instead starting writing “people with penises” and “people with vulvas” instead, I assume to cater to being "gender inclusive". Not in sexual health articles either but in WORKOUT articles! Nobody wants to read about penises and vulvas in a simple workout article. Please stop this and use the words men and women. Nobody should be offended by the words “men” and “women” but it is offensive and weird to refer to humans solely by their genitalia AND scientifically less correct!

Wants (all) your personal information, ok advice

THEY ARE HORRIBLE CONSTANTLY NEGATIVE REVIEWS I DO FURTHER RESEARCH AND SEE HOW FAR THEY ARE OFF

I'm an RN, Public Health Nurse, everything I've read and reviewed on Healthline basically leans towards being inaccurate and generally controversial with current medical guidelines and evidence based practices. Most health information on the web is tied and linked to the promotion of manufactures products. The clinical studies and doctors usually are fake and not verifiable or are in non-medical, clinical fields... Look up products on FDA website or Mayo or other valid sites.. Get real clinical information before buying and consuming this stuff. It's a $5 billion dollar industry selling unregulated useless some times toxic and dangerous products to trusting consumers over the counter.

No, Oatmeal is not safe for diabetics. Oatmeal WILL spike your blood sugar just like any grain. This site needs to get current and link its sources. I feel sorry for the diabetics this sore misleads.

The site is extremely good, well written, consider and science based. B U T ... I followed their page on twitter and they post useless social victimhood stuff like some transgender said x,y .. and a girl nose pierce talking about ... you know, these just random social identity stuff littered around the web.

Just keep your site related to Foods, nutrition, fitness.. don't play into the game of identity politics.

Edit: I felt bad for giving 3 stars, because .. like i said the site is beyond good

Good content! Hiding the cost until the last moment is good business but from a customer point of view it’s just a waste of time for the majority of us who know better than to pay for the same information you can find online. In all cases you will be directed to your doctor or hospital. Absolutely no way to verify doctors credentials which leads me to believe they probably won’t be doctors

The article I read had good sources and a Q&A from a physician.

Great content, well resourced.
