What we do not use as sources

  • Social media posts without a journal or official URL
  • Supplement shops, affiliate reviews, or “natural protocol” blogs
  • Unsourced infographics
  • Statistics we could not trace to a paper, GBD table, NIDDK, NHS, or Mayo Clinic

To suggest a correction, compare the live source URL. We would rather omit a number than guess.
