Editorial policy

How deHype.io keeps evidence checks cautious, source-linked and transparent about uncertainty.

deHype.io aims to make health and science claims easier to read critically. Each evidence check should be clear about what is being claimed, what source material supports it, and where the evidence is still uncertain.

Editorial principles

  • Trace the source: We try to identify the article, press release and original study or official source behind a claim.
  • Separate evidence types: Animal, cell, observational and clinical evidence are not treated as interchangeable.
  • Avoid overstatement: Reports should not imply proof, causation, treatment benefit or clinical actionability unless the evidence supports that wording.
  • Show limitations: Small samples, surrogate outcomes, confounding, short follow-up and missing human evidence are made explicit.

Review and corrections

Content is prepared using a structured evidence-review workflow. Complex or contested topics may need further checking before publication. If a reader identifies a possible error, we review the issue and update the page where a correction or clarification is justified.

Medical boundary

deHype.io content is not personal medical advice. It is intended to help readers understand the strength and limitations of public claims.
