Editorial policy

Writers may not invent brand claims. Claim-check rows come from labelled marketing language plus a source-backed evidence note.

We do not use “cures”, “treats disease”, “prevents illness”, or fake FDA/EFSA approval language in fixtures or editorial copy.

last_reviewed_at, sources, evidence_level, and author are required fields on ingredients, products, and guides. They are not decorative.

If evidence is traditional use only, we say traditional use. Color is never the only signal.
