Our Publishing Principles
Accuracy First
All content is researched thoroughly and reviewed for factual accuracy before publication. We cite peer-reviewed research, expert sources, and recognized nutrition organizations.
Full Transparency
We disclose author credentials, funding sources, and any potential conflicts of interest. Our readers deserve to know who wrote the content and why.
Evidence-Based
Content is grounded in current scientific evidence and expert consensus. We distinguish between established facts, emerging research, and areas of legitimate scientific debate.
Continuous Updates
We review and update articles regularly as new research becomes available. Science evolves, and so does our content. Publication dates and revision dates are always visible.

Fact-Checking & Verification Process
Research & Source Selection
All articles begin with a thorough literature review. We prioritize peer-reviewed journals, reputable health organizations (like the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare), and recognized nutrition experts. We evaluate sources for credibility, methodology, and potential bias.
Content Drafting with Citation
Writers create content with in-text citations and links to evidence. Every claim is traceable to a source. We note the strength of evidence—distinguishing between well-established facts, emerging findings, and areas where research is ongoing or mixed.
Expert Review & Peer Feedback
Before publication, articles are reviewed by subject-matter experts and our editorial board. They verify accuracy, check for omissions, and assess the overall quality and clarity of the information.
Publication & Dating
We publish content with a clear publication date and author byline. Our website clearly displays when articles were last updated to reflect any new evidence or corrections.
Corrections & Updates Policy
How We Handle Errors
We strive for accuracy, but we recognize that errors can occur. When a factual error is discovered—whether by our team, an expert, or a reader—we take it seriously and correct it promptly. All corrections are made transparently:
- Clear correction notes: We add a clearly marked note at the top or within the article explaining what was corrected and when.
- Update timestamps: The article's "last updated" date is changed to reflect the correction.
- Transparency: We do not quietly remove or hide corrections—our readers deserve to know about changes.
Regular Content Reviews
We periodically review existing articles to ensure they remain accurate and aligned with the latest evidence. When new research emerges that changes our understanding, we update the article and note the revision. This happens at minimum annually for evergreen content.
How to Report an Error
If you notice a factual error or have concerns about an article, we welcome your feedback. Please contact our editorial team:
Email: [email protected]
Please include the article title, the specific claim you believe is inaccurate, and any evidence or sources supporting your concern. We will review your submission within 5 business days.
Author Credentials & Disclosures
What We Disclose

- Years of experience in the relevant field
- Any financial relationships or sponsorships related to the topic

Avoiding Conflicts of Interest
Our editorial team does not accept assignments that would create undisclosed conflicts of interest. We maintain independence from commercial pressures. If an author has a connection to a product, company, or organization mentioned in an article, that relationship is clearly disclosed to readers. We believe transparency allows our audience to evaluate content with full knowledge of potential biases.
