Quotable statistics
Computed live from the graph — updated automatically, never stale.
- 80 claims graded, cited, and signed by a named reviewer.
- 4% of tracked popular beliefs are contradicted by the graded evidence.
- 22 beliefs run ahead of the evidence (hype exceeds what's shown).
- 10 claims are gradeless — tested and inconclusive, or not yet studied — and we say so rather than inventing a grade.
- 0 corrections published — the log.
Pre-written positions
- On supplement regulation: DSHEA lets a label carry a structure/function claim ("supports immune health") without proving it. We show the legal claim and the graded evidence side by side, rather than letting one pass as the other — see methodology.
- On AI health misinformation: the fix isn't better prompting, it's grounding — a claim graph with named reviewers and resolvable citations that a model can cite instead of guessing.
- On our own independence: we sell no supplements, take no affiliate revenue, and accept no supplement advertising — see independence.
