Ask what was actually studied
A paper on binaural beats is not automatically a trial of a branded recording. Check whether the exact product, dose, duration and outcome were studied.
Look for absolute language
Claims such as guaranteed intelligence, permanent brain changes or certain financial outcomes require very strong evidence. Marketing language should not substitute for controlled research.
Check conflicts and source quality
Give more weight to peer-reviewed reviews and major public-health organizations than anonymous blogs or affiliate testimonials.
