Source Evaluation
Claim: "Vitamin C megadoses cure the common cold." Source: A blog post by a naturopath selling vitamin C supplements, citing a 1970 Linus Pauling book.
Strong source — Linus Pauling was a Nobel laureate
Weak source — conflict of interest, outdated evidence, and the authority cited was outside their expertise
Moderate source — the personal experience of a naturopath has value
Strong source — books are peer-reviewed
