Criticism   
           and controversies
   
       
Writing in the journal Vaccine, Anna Kata   
         identified Natural News as one of numerous websites spreading   
         "irresponsible health information".[36]   
         According to John Banks, Adams uses "pseudoscience to sell his   
         lies" and is "seen as generally a quack and a shill by science   
         bloggers."[9]   
         One such blogger, David Gorski of ScienceBlogs, called Natural News "one   
         of the most wretched hives of scum and quackery on the Internet,"   
         and the most "blatant purveyor of the worst kind of quackery   
         and paranoid anti-physician and anti-medicine conspiracy theories   
         anywhere on the Internet",[37]   
         and a one-stop-shop for "virtually every quackery known to   
         humankind, all slathered with a heaping, helping of unrelenting   
         hostility to science-based medicine and science in general."[7]   
         Peter Bowditch of the website Ratbags commented about the site.[38]   
         Steven Novella of NeuroLogica Blog   
         called NaturalNews "a crank alt med site that promotes every sort   
         of medical nonsense imaginable." Novella continued: "If it is   
         unscientific, antiscientific, conspiracy-mongering, or downright   
         silly, Mike Adams appears to be all for it—whatever sells the   
         "natural" products he hawks on his site."[11]   
       
   
       
Individuals who commented about Adams' website include astronomer   
         and blogger Phil Plait,[39]   
         PZ   
           Myers,[40]   
         and Mark Hoofnagle.[41]   
         In 2011 and 2015 Brian Dunning listed   
         NaturalNews.com as #1 on his "Top 10 Worst Anti-Science Websites"   
         lists.[42]   
         Adams is listed as a "promoter of questionable methods" by Quackwatch.[43]
