A teeth whitening serum can effectively whiten yellow teeth

Publisher’s rating: Half True

Research from related reporting describes a Good Housekeeping Beauty Lab test in which Crest’s whitening serum lightened teeth nearly three shades in two weeks. The reporting also notes that whitening results vary, so this supports the claim that a serum can work but does not establish that every serum will effectively whiten yellow teeth.

Al alimento de pollos en Estados Unidos se agrega medicamentos con arsénico aprobados por la FDA

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says the claim is false: the FDA told elDetector that since December 31, 2015, no arsenic-based drugs have been approved for use in food-producing animals. It also reports that the FDA’s 2011 study found higher inorganic arsenic levels in the livers of chickens fed roxarsone, but the agency said the detected levels were very low and posed no health risk.
