Editorial policy

This page explains how we prepare the site's content, what we pay attention to when discussing health, and what happens when an error occurs.

What goes into an article

Each article and guide addresses one practical question. We write about accepted professional guidance and medical literature, and note when something remains disputed or has been studied only in specific situations. We avoid figures and data that cannot be substantiated, and prefer to write less rather than include something that has not been checked.

Writing about health

• We do not promise cures or present a dietary change or habit as a substitute for medical treatment.
• We do not invent patients, personal stories, or quotations.
• Whenever a topic involves warning signs, we describe them and explain when to see a doctor.
• Every article and guide ends with a clarification that the information is general and is not a substitute for personal advice.

Illustrations

The illustrations on the site were created specifically for it and are labeled as such. They illustrate an article's topic and do not document a real person, place, or event.

Links and sponsored content

We mainly link to other content on the site when it expands on the topic. When an article includes a link to an external website, it is selected because it is relevant to the reader. Any sponsored content published on the site will be clearly labeled as such.

Updates and corrections

Found an error, outdated information, or inaccurate wording? Write to us through our contact page. We review every message and make corrections when needed. A substantive correction updates the article's last-updated date.
