Conflict policy
Disclosure standard
Reviewers disclose any financial relationship. Published inline with review credit. No fee paid from us.
Editorial principles
Primary literature first. We cite the actual study, not press releases. Bibliography at /sources.html.
Disagreements stay disagreements. Where mainstream guidance and individual studies conflict, we describe the disagreement.
Effect sizes, not just p-values. If a meta-analysis shows a 0.5% benefit, we say "real but small."
Conflict of interest disclosed inline. Every page with an affiliate relationship says so.
Corrections noted. We do not silently rewrite. Dated correction notes appended.
No AI-generated bylines. AI assists research/drafting. Editorial decisions and voice are human.
Sponsorship clearly labeled. "Sponsored" appears above any headline. Currently zero sponsored pieces.
