HOW WE DO IT

Our editorial staff is full of industry veterans with extensive resumes in news, publishing, nutrition, and lifestyle reporting. We are committed to upholding the highest ethics and standards in journalism, and operate independently from our advertisers and/or outside influences.

 

Our team is committed to research, expertise, data, and authority, and we reflect that in our content by enforcing strict editorial guidelines to make sure what you're reading on our site is accurate, timely, and medically sound. We conduct our own original reporting and exclusively source internationally recognized news outlets, academic journals, research institutions, and peer-reviewed studies in our stories.

 

To ensure the integrity of the content we publish, our Medical Expert Board routinely reviews and contributes to our new and existing content.

 

Our Ethics and Fact-Checking Policies

When you're ready to make a life-changing decision about your diet and/or health, you should expect to be guided by accurate and trustworthy information. That's why our content is fact-checked by a team of veteran journalists and medically reviewed by a board of credentialed experts.

 

When doing their research for articles, our editorial team and network of contributors exclusively cite primary sources (i.e. academic studies, peer-reviewed research, or interviews with licensed medical professionals, including members of our industry-leading Medical Expert Board). Links to these sources are included in our articles and clearly stated so that readers can easily verify their credibility.

 

We've established a Medical Expert Board of certified and world-renowned medical doctors, registered dietitians, certified nutritionists and personal trainers, as well as culinary and wellness experts. These trusted partners work closely with our editorial team to ensure that the content published on Eat This, Not That! is medically accurate and rooted in the latest science. Their expert stamp of approval isn't added to the byline of an article until a thorough review is complete.
