Vital Force does not disclose its ownership and generates revenue through advertisements, a shop (with inaccessible products at the time of review), affiliate links, and advertising to support its operations.
Analysis / Bias
Vital Force leans heavily towards promoting alternative medicine and wellness practices, often with little to no backing from established scientific research. In the article “Magnesium Chloride for Detox Bath,” the site claims that magnesium chloride is a powerful detoxification tool. However, it relies on anecdotal evidence and popular wellness beliefs rather than citing scientific studies or medical research. The article also encourages the use of detox baths, which are controversial due to the lack of empirical evidence supporting their benefits.
Similarly, the article “Conquering Self-Doubt and Overthinking” provides advice on mental wellness, promoting practices like meditation and self-reflection. While these methods are widely recognized, the article does not provide credible sources or psychological studies to support their effectiveness. Instead, it relies on general self-help language and tips commonly seen in wellness and lifestyle publications.
While Vital Force avoids overt political or social content, it consistently favors non-conventional health practices over evidence-based medicine, contributing to a bias in its approach to health and wellness.
Failed Fact Checks
- None by a third-party fact checker; however, the lack of scientific sourcing and promotion of alternative medicine practices raises questions about the accuracy of some health claims on the site.
Overall, we rate Vital Force as Least Biased because it does not publish overtly political content. However, it is rated as a pseudoscience site based on a lack of transparency about its editorial processes and a tendency to promote unproven or misleading information regarding science, particularly in areas like alternative medicine and holistic health practices.
