This page explains exactly how every article on Bio-Hacking.Blog is researched and fact-checked. The short version: no claim reaches a published article unless a real, reachable, peer-reviewed source actually supports it.
Our source hierarchy
We weight evidence by quality. In order of preference: meta-analyses and systematic reviews, then randomized controlled trials, then cohort and observational studies, then reputable expert reviews. We draw from PubMed, PubMed Central, journal sites, and DOI links, and we tell you when the evidence is preliminary.
How an article is built
- Plan. We map the question and the specific, falsifiable claims that will each need a citation.
- Research. For each question we open the actual studies and confirm the source genuinely reports the finding. Anything we cannot open and verify is dropped.
- Draft. We write only from the verified sources, with the concrete numbers linked inline.
- Adversarial verification. An independent check re-opens every citation and rules on it: does it support the claim, is it weaker than implied, is it off-topic, or is it dead or fabricated. This step is the whole point, it is what keeps invented studies out.
- Finalize. Fabricated or off-topic citations are removed, weak ones are softened to match what the study actually shows, and the article is published only when the citations hold up.
What we will not do
We do not invent studies, statistics, authors, or links. We do not promise cures or guaranteed outcomes. We do not pad word count with claims we cannot back. If a popular idea is not supported by good evidence, we say so.
