Editorial Policy

Data before narrative. Every article starts from the database and the rule library, not from a conclusion in search of numbers. When popular belief and the two-column data disagree, the article says so plainly — the pickle paradox and the canned-soup case file exist because popular foods failed the check.

Sourcing. Nutrient numbers cite USDA FoodData Central. Guideline claims cite the 2025 ACC/AHA hypertension guidelines and the DASH trial literature. Celebrity food claims appear only where the person has stated the habit themselves or mainstream outlets have reported it; such external links are marked nofollow and never presented as medical endorsement.

No fabricated anything. We do not invent studies, statistics, expert identities, or quotes. Medical qualifications are never claimed or implied — the team is a data editorial team, and the about page states it in the first paragraph. Health questions are framed for the reader's clinician, not answered as if by one.

Independence. No sponsored content, no affiliate links, no paid placements. External links exist for evidence and context only, and carry nofollow per site policy. Corrections are made visibly on the corrections page, never silently edited away.
