AI-generated doctors and viral wellness trends are spreading misleading health advice on social media, Times Now News reports. Realistic avatars in white coats can appear credible without proving medical expertise. The report also cites the so-called “pink jelly” weight-loss treatment, which reportedly convinced at least one celebrity despite lacking scientific evidence. Readers are advised to verify medical credentials, check claims against multiple high-quality studies and consult trusted health agencies or professional associations. Warning signs include miracle-cure promises, paid supplements or courses, and advice to stop prescribed medicines. Personal stories may feel persuasive, but they cannot establish that a treatment is safe or effective for everyone.
