How we research, write, check and update what we publish.
Our standards
- Articles are based on reputable sources such as peer-reviewed research, public health bodies and clinical guidelines.
- We separate facts from opinion and avoid exaggerated claims or fear-based headlines.
- Every article goes through an editorial check, then a medical review as described in our Medical Review Policy.
- Advertising and partnerships never influence our recommendations. See our Advertising Policy.
Updates and corrections
Health guidance changes. We revisit articles regularly and update them when new evidence appears. If we make a significant correction, we say so on the article.
Not medical advice
Our content is for general education. It does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
