Our Core Editorial Principles
Evidence-Based Research
Every claim we publish is grounded in peer-reviewed scientific literature, clinical studies, and authoritative health sources. We cite our sources and explain the strength of evidence behind each statement.
Transparency & Disclosure
We clearly disclose our editorial mission, author credentials, and any potential conflicts of interest. Readers always know who wrote an article and what expertise they bring to the subject.
Fact-Checking Process
Our editorial team conducts multi-stage fact-checking before publication. Medical claims, statistics, and scientific findings are independently verified by qualified reviewers.
Continuous Update & Correction
As new research emerges, we update articles to reflect current evidence. When errors are discovered, we correct them promptly and transparently document changes made.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Source Identification & Literature Review
Before writing begins, researchers consult peer-reviewed journals, regulatory databases (such as PubMed and Google Scholar), and published systematic reviews. We prioritize recent studies and meta-analyses that synthesize multiple trials. Sources are cross-referenced to identify consensus among reputable institutions.
Author Review & Qualification Check
Every article is authored by writers with documented expertise in nutrition, optometry, or related health fields. We verify author credentials and relevant certifications. Conflicts of interest are disclosed upfront. Authors review their own work against the editorial standards checklist before submission.
Editorial Board Review
A dedicated editorial board member (typically with scientific or medical background) independently reviews the manuscript. This reviewer checks all citations, evaluates claim strength, flags unsupported statements, and ensures medical language is accurate and appropriately qualified. This step is mandatory before any article moves to publication.
Publication & Ongoing Monitoring
Once published, articles are tagged with publication date and last-reviewed date. Our team monitors new research in the field. If significant new evidence emerges or an error is identified, the article is updated with a transparent note about what changed and why. Readers can always see the revision history.

Corrections & Updates Policy
How We Handle Errors
We take all factual errors seriously. If you spot an inaccuracy in any article—whether a misquoted statistic, outdated reference, or misleading claim—please contact us immediately. We will investigate within 48 hours and issue a correction if the error is confirmed.
Corrections are published as a visible note at the top of the affected article, with the correction date and a brief explanation of what was changed and why.
Clarifications vs. Corrections
Correction: A factual error (wrong number, misattributed source, false claim).
Clarification: A statement that may be confusing or require additional context. We add an editor's note to provide clarity without suggesting the original text was wrong.
Article Updates for New Research
As new scientific evidence emerges, we update articles to reflect the latest findings. When we update an article beyond minor edits, we include an "Updated on [date]" note and briefly summarize what new information was added or changed.
Readers can always access the publication date and last-review date at the top of each article to understand how current the information is.

- • The article title and URL
