Falling for Misinformation

People, even those with knowledge in debunking misinformation, can still fall for health misinformation, such as wellness conspiracies like using cherry tree extract for health benefits. It is not unique to fall for false information, and it is easy to criticize other countries' conspiracy theories while overlooking one's cultural baggage. The state of mind plays a significant role, as seen in the tendency of individuals to join cults despite varied backgrounds.
