I guess the first thing is to look and see if the source is from a respected organization, ie a recognized university. Is it from a single source or multiple sources. Is this a theoretical stage or proven? And does it actually make sense- is it suggesting extreme actions like eating no carbs, eating a lot of one thing? Trust your common sense along with whatever information you are reading.

That is tough, as I don't know Dr. Che Lovehandles, who is a leading biobotanist and has discovered that peonies hold the key for flatulance control.
I mean, he may have more degrees than a thermometer, but I make no connection to him, even though the CDC promotes him heavily.
Now, since medicine flip-flops regularly (coffee good, coffee bad, coffee good...), it gets even more confusing as to who and what can be believed

Look for the slant of the story and consider the source of pertinent information. For instance if the story only reports sources from a drug company, you can bet that it is slanted in their favor and won't give you negative information.
