: Re: Is it good to add 'I believe' at the beginning of the sentence? I believe that people should eat apples. or, People should eat apples. Which one is best, or when to use which?

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.
