Fact-Checking Policy
Effective date: 7.17. 2026
Simple Health Naturally aims to publish nutrition and wellness information that is accurate, appropriately sourced, and clear about uncertainty.
1. What We Check
Before publication, we aim to verify:
- Names and definitions
- Nutrient functions
- Quantities and units
- Health and nutrition claims
- Study conclusions
- Product ingredients
- Safety warnings
- Dates and statistics
- Quotations
- Professional credentials
- Links to supporting sources
2. Preferred Sources
We prioritize:
- Current government or public-health guidance
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- Professional clinical or dietary guidelines
- Peer-reviewed controlled studies
- Reputable academic and medical institutions
- Qualified expert explanations
- Official manufacturer information for product-specific facts
Blogs, social-media posts, testimonials, and marketing materials are not treated as strong scientific evidence by themselves.
3. Evaluating Research
When reviewing a study, we consider:
- Study design
- Sample size
- Study population
- Duration
- Funding and conflicts of interest
- Whether results were replicated
- Whether the research involved humans, animals, or laboratory models
- Whether the conclusion matches the actual findings
- Whether association is being confused with causation
A study involving cells or animals should not automatically be presented as proof of benefit in humans.
4. Health Claims
Health claims should be proportionate to the evidence.
Where findings are uncertain, articles may use language such as:
- May
- Might
- Is associated with
- Preliminary research suggests
- Evidence is limited
- More research is needed
We do not knowingly publish unsupported claims that a food, supplement, or lifestyle method can prevent, treat, or cure a serious disease.
5. Conflicting Evidence
When reliable sources disagree, we aim to:
- Explain the disagreement
- Identify the strength and limitations of each position
- Avoid presenting one uncertain position as settled fact
- Refer readers to qualified professionals for individualized guidance
6. Expert Review
Higher-risk articles may be reviewed by a registered dietitian, physician, pharmacist, or another relevant qualified professional when available.
Professional review is disclosed only when it has actually occurred.
A reviewer checks accuracy and safety but may not personally endorse every product or opinion discussed.
7. Links and Citations
Where appropriate, articles should link to or identify the original supporting source rather than relying only on secondary summaries.
Sources should be relevant to the claim they support.
We avoid citation practices that create a misleading appearance of scientific support.
8. Corrections Process
When a possible error is reported, we will:
- Review the disputed statement
- Check the original source
- Compare current reliable evidence
- Consult a qualified expert when necessary
- Correct the article when the concern is valid
- Add a correction note when the error is material
Minor formatting or typographical changes may be made without a formal notice.
9. Reporting an Error
Send correction requests to hsseeker.info@gmail.com and include:
- The article title or link
- The statement in question
- Why you believe it is incorrect
- Supporting evidence or a reliable source
We appreciate responsible feedback that helps improve the accuracy of the website.
