Scientific Misrepresentation

Meaning

Scientific misrepresentation is the deliberate or negligent act of inaccurately reporting, selectively presenting, or fabricating scientific data or research findings to promote a product, service, or clinical theory. In the hormonal health space, this often involves exaggerating the efficacy, minimizing the true risks, or misinterpreting the complex results of studies related to hormones, supplements, or diagnostic tests. This practice severely erodes patient trust, undermines evidence-based medicine, and poses a significant risk to clinical integrity and patient safety.
