Medical Misinformation Online – Influencers

A simplified opinion article about dietary supplements, social media health influencers, and the need for better regulation — practising basic discussion vocabulary and simple argument structures at A2 level.

Learning objectives:
• Identify and name specific supplements (vitamin D, omega-3, St John's wort, turmeric, magnesium) and say what they do or what risks they carry
• Use simple contrast language ('but', 'however', 'not all… are') to present two sides of an argument
• Talk about why people use social media for health information using 'because' and simple reason clauses
• Understand and use the key term 'accountability' with its meaning (being responsible for what you say or do)
• Express a simple personal opinion on health choices using 'I think', 'I believe', 'it is not fair to say'
