Our Guiding principles

Our editorial team controls all the content on our websites. We use the most recent research we find available to report on certain topics because most of our content is constantly evolving. Our articles include mentions that are reviewed by our peers. The reference links are available at bottom of our content pages. We ensure we use the most recent research studies on all our subject matters.

We prefer to base our reports on research done on humans instead of animal testing, where possible. There are some instances where there are no available human trials, so research may not be available. If we find that the animal trials are of high quality and relevant, then we use them and ensure you know of them. While we include animal research, we ensure it is only in places where it can better your understanding of the topic.

Although we prefer that our reports are based on scientifically proven treatments and methods, we sometimes base them on experimental treatments only if they are significant and may help readers in understanding the topic. We always include disclaimers if our research is based on unproven methods to ensure the reader is aware of the safety concerns.

We are always careful when reporting on matters of health or subjects that may potentially cause harm to the consumer’s health.
