This is False...

The chemical adrenchrome has been shown to not have rejuvinating effects, and this "claim" is a conspiracy theory that has been debunked numerous times. It is a theory backed by far right conspiracy groups who claim that certain celebrities run a child trafficking ring in which they drain the blood of children to get the chemical "adrenchrome" to keep them youthful. Not much else to say, as it is simply not true, as even if you take a look at the so called "Satanic Celebrities", some of them have NOT aged beautifully. Just take a look at Prince Phillip...

Very well explained and your source clearly shows why you believe this statement to be false. I also liked how you embedded quotes into your reasoning. This helps make your fact check a lot more reliable.

Thanks for your fact-check! You mention that the claim has been debunked numerous times -- can you share sources and URLs? Why is the claim false?

Great use of sources and great explanation and analysis of the source and making the answer credible.

I think your answer would be stronger if you used more than one source. No quotes are used either, which why not? You can paraphrase in your own words, but you can also directly quote to back your claim.

Gosh, Prince Phillip... his face should be evidence enough to debunk that, haha. Nice job explaining the conspiracy theory while also showing how it is false.

Great use of information and sources to provide a precise explanation to support your claim.
