Why you can trust what you read

We build our guides on primary and authoritative sources, including the NIH, CDC, WHO, Mayo Clinic, Cochrane systematic reviews and peer-reviewed reviews on PubMed. Sources are linked in each article so you can check them.

Before publishing, each guide goes through a separate fact-check step that compares each claim with its cited source. We separate strong evidence from early findings and correct errors openly.
