Why You Can't Trust Fitness Content
Headlines oversimplify. Influencers cherry-pick. We show you the full picture, backed by actual research.
Misquoted Studies
Headlines claim one thing. The actual paper says something completely different. We read the full text so you don't have to.
Overhyped Results
A 2% improvement on 12 people gets sold as a “breakthrough.” We show you effect sizes, sample sizes, and what the numbers actually mean.
Hidden Conflicts
Supplement companies funding studies. Researchers with patents. We flag conflicts of interest so you know who's behind the science.

Plant defense compounds may interfere with human metabolism, but saturated fat's health impact remains unverified by direct studies.
Some claims about plant compounds and processed foods are supported by observational studies, while key assertions about saturated fat lack direct evidence.

Walking after meals lowers blood sugar, and inclines boost calorie burn, but claims about fat cell biology and weighted vests are inconsistent with research.
Strong evidence supports walking after meals and using inclines to improve metabolic health, but some biological claims about fat cells and the magnitude of vest effects are contradicted.

Taking a drug called evolocumab can lower the chance of having a first major heart problem by 25% in people at high risk who’ve never had a heart attack or stroke before.
This drug stops a protein from destroying liver receptors that clean bad cholesterol out of the blood. More receptors mean more cholesterol is removed, which keeps it from building up in arteries. That prevents new blockages from forming and lowers the chance of a first heart attack or stroke.
Taking statins might slightly raise your chances of getting type 2 diabetes, but they do a much better job of preventing heart attacks and strokes — especially if you're already at high risk.
Liraglutide increases insulin sensitivity and lowers blood glucose levels after fasting and after meals in people with obesity and prediabetes by activating GLP-1 receptors, without requiring weight loss and differently from how DPP-4 inhibitors or dieting affect glucose.
Liraglutide works by keeping a key hormone receptor turned on longer than natural hormones can, which cuts liver sugar output and helps the body use insulin better — even without losing weight. Other methods like diet or DPP-4 inhibitors don't do the same thing.
