Our Core Commitments

• Scientific Rigor & Evidence-Based Content: Every claim is backed by credible scientific evidence. We reference current research, primarily from the last 10 years, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. We avoid exaggerated health claims and clearly state when the science is not yet settled.
• Transparency & Clarity: Our priority is to translate complex scientific topics into clear, simple language that everyone can understand. We use a dedicated "Evidence Levels Guide" so you can understand the strength and limitations of the information.
• Expertise & Authority: As the next step in our mission to provide our readers with the highest quality information, we are working to establish a Scientific Advisory Board comprised of expert physicians and dietitians. This goal is part of our commitment to accuracy and reliability.
• Independence & Impartiality: Our editorial independence is paramount. No commercial or corporate partner can influence the direction or outcome of our content. Sponsored or advertising content is always clearly and unambiguously labeled.
• Continuous Updates & Corrections: Science is constantly evolving. Therefore, we regularly review and update our published content in light of the latest scientific findings. When we identify an error or are alerted to one by our readers, we transparently make the necessary corrections according to our Corrections Policy.
• Diversity & Inclusion: We recognize that health is personal. In our content, we strive to adopt an inclusive language and approach that considers individuals of different ages, genders, ethnic backgrounds, and health histories.

Our Content Creation Process: How an Article Comes to Life

We follow a meticulous process to deliver reliable information to you:

1. Topic Selection: We choose relevant topics by analyzing the scientific landscape, current research, and reader needs.
2. In-Depth Research: Our writers conduct a comprehensive literature review using only reputable academic databases (e.g., PubMed, Google Scholar) and peer-reviewed journals.
3. Writing Phase: Information is written in clear, actionable language, adhering to the hierarchy of evidence. All sources are cited within the text and at the end.
4. Editorial Review & Publication: The text is proofread by our editors for language, flow, and compliance with Biochron standards, then labeled with evidence levels and published.
5. Periodic Updates: Every published article is reassessed and updated at regular intervals or whenever significant new developments occur in the field.

Our Evidence Levels Guide

To help you understand the strength of the science behind each claim at a glance, we use the following labels in our articles:

• [Evidence: A] = Systematic review or meta-analysis (strongest evidence)
• [Evidence: B] = Randomized controlled trial (RCT)
• [Evidence: C] = Cohort or case-control study
• [Evidence: D] = Expert opinion or clinical guideline
