We publish about health, so accuracy matters more than saving face. When we get something wrong, we fix it openly.
How to report an error
Email us through the contact page with the page, the specific claim, and, if possible, a source. We prioritize corrections to safety and dosing information.
How we handle corrections
For a material factual error, we fix the text and add a dated correction note at the foot of the article. For a product label that has changed, we update the review, change the “reviewed” date, and adjust any comparison that relied on the old label. Minor typos are fixed without a note.
Our commitment
We will not quietly delete a claim to hide that it was wrong. If a claim shaped a recommendation, the correction says so.
