Always check facts. Think for yourself. He doesn't claim to know everything.
Question things;

He discusses topics such as Naturopathy and also exorcism.

The way science news is reported can be misunderstood. A press release is not a study.
The general public might not understand microbiomes and how they work in us humans.
Science journalists should interview the experts plus learning the topic reported is necessary .
The author supports consumer protection. Fantasy is not real! But there is no harm in liking and being entertained by magic.

chapter 47, 48
Why is this important? Why should anyone care?
Fortunately our world is made up of a variety people with a variety of interests, skills and talents. The title could be misleading but critical thinking is his focus .

He has a blog that's quite popular -needed in current times -explaining the Science clearly and simply and we are all taught to be aware of misinformation whether from persons in authority of not; in otherwirds, wisdom to discern is important.
He discusses Astro-turfing as well as FairBalance.
