We get things wrong. When we do, we fix them in the open — with the date, and a note saying what changed.
How we handle errors
Corrections fall into three kinds, and each is handled differently.
Substantive corrections
A factual error that changes what the article means — a wrong dose, a misread study, a claim attributed to research that does not support it. We fix the text and add a dated note at the bottom of the article stating what was wrong and what it now says.
The note stays permanently. We do not remove it once the article has been right for a while.
Minor corrections
Typos, broken links, a misspelled brand name. Fixed without a note, because nothing a reader understood has changed.
Updates
New research changes the picture, or a product reformulates. The article is updated and marked with the date of the update. This is not a correction — the original was accurate when published — but readers deserve to know they are reading a revised version.
What we will not do
We will not quietly edit a claim and leave the page looking as though it always said the new thing. If a published sentence was wrong, the record shows that it was wrong.
We will not delete an article to make an error disappear. If a piece is beyond correcting, it is withdrawn with a note explaining why, and the page stays reachable.
Reporting an error
Tell us through the contact page. It helps if you include the article title, the specific passage, and where the correct information comes from — a study, a product label, an official source.
You do not need to be an expert to report something. If a number looks wrong to you, it is worth checking.
What happens next
We check the claim against the original source. If we were wrong, the article is corrected and the note added. If we were right, we say so and explain why, so the exchange is useful either way.
Product manufacturers are welcome to dispute a review. A brand pointing out a factual error will be corrected like any other source. A brand unhappy with a conclusion drawn from accurate facts will not — disagreement with a verdict is not an error.
Where corrections appear
On the article itself, at the bottom, dated. Corrections that affect a review score also update the score, and the note records both the old and the new figure.
