Our Publishing Principles
Evidence-Based Content
Every nutrition claim is supported by peer-reviewed scientific research, clinical studies, and reputable institutional sources. We prioritise data over anecdotes.
Transparency
We disclose author credentials, source material, and any potential conflicts of interest. Our readers deserve to know who wrote the content and why.
Balanced Perspective
We present multiple viewpoints on complex nutrition topics and acknowledge areas of scientific debate. We avoid oversimplification and false certainty.
Continuous Revision
Science evolves. We regularly update articles when new evidence emerges and clearly mark all significant revisions with publication dates and change notes.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Source Verification
All claims are verified against peer-reviewed journals, institutional research databases, and recognised health organisations. We prioritise primary sources over secondary reporting.
Expert Review
Articles are reviewed by members of our editorial board before publication. Reviewers check accuracy, relevance, and adherence to our publishing standards.
Conflict of Interest Assessment
We identify and disclose any potential conflicts. Authors declare financial interests, affiliations, and relationships that could influence their perspective on nutrition topics.
Citation & Linking
Where possible, we link directly to source material so readers can verify claims independently. Citations follow scientific standards and include author, publication year, and journal information.

Corrections & Updates Policy
How We Handle Errors
If readers identify factual errors or outdated information, we welcome feedback. Corrections are made promptly, and all changes are transparently documented. Minor corrections (e.g. typos) are fixed silently. Significant factual corrections are marked with a note explaining what changed and why.
Publication Dates & Versioning
Every article displays an original publication date and last-updated date. When significant revisions occur (e.g. new research substantially changes our conclusions), the update date is highlighted and a summary of changes is provided in an "Editor's Note" at the top of the article.
Scientific Consensus & Debate
Nutrition science involves ongoing debate. Where expert opinion differs, we present multiple perspectives fairly and note areas of uncertainty. We do not present minority or unproven views as established fact, and we clearly distinguish between consensus and emerging research.
Reader Feedback
We value reader feedback about our content. If you spot an error, have a suggestion, or wish to discuss an article, contact our editorial team at [email protected]. All feedback is reviewed, and substantive comments may lead to corrections or clarifications.
