Problem: When we see advertisements for weight loss supplements that feature before and after photos of people saying the supplements helped them lose over 50 pounds in 6 months without having to reduce their food intake, and a doctor appears saying that she developed the product in the world's leading weight loss clinic, you should do all of the following, EXCEPT:
a. Beware of relying on statements of authority
b. Go to the product website and look for peer-reviewed studies evaluating the product
c. Check the credentials of the doctor and see if the people were paid to be in the ad
d. Practice your critical thinking by engaging in naive realism
