Where Is Health Misinformation Really Coming From?

Product advertisements. Friends and family. User-generated content. These are the top sources of health misinformation according to Edelman's groundbreaking trust research. "People were getting misinformation from friends and family," Courtney Gray Haupt reveals. "So they recognized that even if they're turning to friends and family for information, maybe it's not always accurate."

As Global US Chair at Edelman, Courtney has spent 25 years tracking trust. But this year's data reveals something alarming: the very sources we turn to most—social media ads, loved ones who mean well, online videos—are leading us astray on critical health decisions.

In this clip from Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Courtney breaks down where misinformation is actually coming from and why even well-meaning sources can't be trusted. When product advertisements top the list and your family's advice might be wrong, where do you turn for truth?

The full conversation reveals the path forward—but first, we need to understand where the misinformation starts.
