All things being equal, you're always better off taking care of yourself. But you're better off investing your energy in proven strategies and not whatever nonsense you see on the internet.

I generally agree, but there was a time when books and libraries were the internet of the time. And the saying was similar "just because you read it in a book doesn't mean it's true."
Consider how recently science and doctors have been wrong about certain diseases and fixed/changed their healing techniques. I'd rather use common sense than suffer at the hands of those that are working on the wrong side of the knowledge curve. Many doctors today are of a similar opinion, sometimes the majority is wrong, and it takes a long time for them to come around, but that doesn't mean everyone has to wait.
