Our Fact-Checking & Editorial Process
Research & Source Gathering
Authors conduct comprehensive research using peer-reviewed journals, established health organizations (WHO, FDA, European Food Safety Authority), and expert interviews. All sources are documented and verified.
Initial Editorial Review
An editor reviews the draft for clarity, structure, and adherence to our editorial guidelines. We check tone, terminology, and ensure information is presented in context.
Expert Fact-Check
All nutrition and health-related content is reviewed by a qualified expert from our advisory board. They verify scientific accuracy, check citations, and flag any claims that require clarification or correction.
Revisions & Approval
The author addresses expert feedback and makes necessary revisions. Once approved by both the editor and expert reviewer, the article is scheduled for publication.
Ongoing Monitoring
After publication, we continue to monitor articles for new research that might affect accuracy. Significant updates trigger a review cycle. We mark revision dates clearly.
