IFLS (which stands for I ....... Love Science) has become one of the biggest sources of science news on facebook, and has become quite trusted as a source for information. Today I saw that they published an article on e-cigs; here's the broken link :
http ://www. ifl science .com/health-and-medicine/studies-reveal-health-risks-e-cigarettes
They basically grabbed one of the most famous headline news studies, mixed it in with one lesser known study, and said that we don't really know much more yet are you kidding me???
On top of that, the title of the article is misleading, implying that e-cigs are dangerous.
I've actually become quite frustrated with IFLS more and more lately for having misleading headlines and skewing the interpretation of studies in their articles. This really takes the cake for me - I'm going to write to them and tell them I no longer trust them as an accurate source of information.
It really burns me because so many people trust big names like this, they need to be more responsible!
