The gotcha / sneering style harms something I otherwise agree with.

For example, Ashwagandha is something I've been putting into daal curry for years; it has been a part of Indian cuisine forever. Not that you'd know by the style it is conveyed in; there must be a word for this style of dishonesty, where you purposely hide context to inflate the danger.

It's a shame because most supplements are clearly not necessary.
