#2: Initial revision
You **absolutely** should add "I Believe" if, without that phrase, you would be making a claim of fact that you cannot be certain is true. Do you have scientific proof that people should eat apples for their health? Without some medical studies, you make a misleading statement to say _"people should eat apples for their health"_, you are implicitly lying to people by implying that this is a known fact. However, saying _"I believe people should eat apples for their health"_ is a truthful statement if you truly believe that. So is _"I believe eating apples is a gateway to heroin use, promiscuity, harsh music and the sexualization of astronomy"_. I can argue that eating apples **almost never** sexualizes astronomy, but I can't argue that you don't believe what you say you believe.
