What We Check<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before publication, we aim to verify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Names and definitions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nutrient functions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quantities and units<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health and nutrition claims<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study conclusions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product ingredients<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety warnings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dates and statistics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quotations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional credentials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Links to supporting sources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Preferred Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We prioritize:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Current government or public-health guidance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Systematic reviews and meta-analyses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional clinical or dietary guidelines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peer-reviewed controlled studies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reputable academic and medical institutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Qualified expert explanations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Official manufacturer information for product-specific facts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blogs, social-media posts, testimonials, and marketing materials are not treated as strong scientific evidence by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Evaluating Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When reviewing a study, we consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Study design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sample size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study population<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Funding and conflicts of interest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether results were replicated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the research involved humans, animals, or laboratory models<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the conclusion matches the actual findings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether association is being confused with causation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A study involving cells or animals should not automatically be presented as proof of benefit in humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Health Claims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Health claims should be proportionate to the evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where findings are uncertain, articles may use language such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>May<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Might<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is associated with<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preliminary research suggests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evidence is limited<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More research is needed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not knowingly publish unsupported claims that a food, supplement, or lifestyle method can prevent, treat, or cure a serious disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Conflicting Evidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When reliable sources disagree, we aim to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Explain the disagreement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify the strength and limitations of each position<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid presenting one uncertain position as settled fact<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refer readers to qualified professionals for individualized guidance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Expert Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Higher-risk articles may be reviewed by a registered dietitian, physician, pharmacist, or another relevant qualified professional when available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professional review is disclosed only when it has actually occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A reviewer checks accuracy and safety but may not personally endorse every product or opinion discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Links and Citations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where appropriate, articles should link to or identify the original supporting source rather than relying only on secondary summaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sources should be relevant to the claim they support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We avoid citation practices that create a misleading appearance of scientific support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Corrections Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a possible error is reported, we will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Review the disputed statement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the original source<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare current reliable evidence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consult a qualified expert when necessary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Correct the article when the concern is valid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add a correction note when the error is material<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minor formatting or typographical changes may be made without a formal notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Reporting an Error<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send correction requests to <strong>hsseeker.info@gmail.com<\/strong> and include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The article title or link<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The statement in question<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why you believe it is incorrect<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting evidence or a reliable source<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We appreciate responsible feedback that helps improve the accuracy of the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact-Checking Policy Effective date: 7.17. 2026 Simple Health Naturally aims to publish nutrition and wellness information that is accurate, appropriately [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-29","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/simplehealthnaturally.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/simplehealthnaturally.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/simplehealthnaturally.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simplehealthnaturally.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simplehealthnaturally.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/simplehealthnaturally.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30,"href":"https:\/\/simplehealthnaturally.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29\/revisions\/30"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/simplehealthnaturally.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
