Summary
For this assignment, you will read two articles about dietary supplements and evaluate the accuracy of the claims as shown in the background section of this assignment. Following the reading, you will complete a series of short-answer questions.
Background Information
“Always choose the organic food option whenever possible.” “Choosing a food or beverage that is 100% all-natural is a healthy alternative.” “Ginkgo biloba is a great supplement to improve memory and blood circulation.” Each of these statements is a claim commonly circulated throughout media outlets.

2- Enter that on your own, I don’t have the articles
