Sponsorship and Independence Policy

Current status

The website does not currently display paid sponsorships or affiliate product promotions.

Future disclosures

Any paid placement, sponsorship, affiliate relationship, free product, or other material financial connection should be clearly disclosed near the relevant content.

Editorial separation

Sponsors may not purchase favorable scientific conclusions, suppress material risks, or control evidence interpretation. Sponsored content should be visibly distinguishable from independent editorial content.

Product claims

Commercial claims are held to the same evidence standards as other health claims. Payment or product access is not evidence of safety or effectiveness.

Conflicts of interest

Material conflicts relevant to a specific publication should be disclosed in that publication.
