Editorial Policy

HealthCoreTips is written and run by Mujahid Lone. This page explains how articles are researched, written, and kept up to date, so you can judge how much weight to give what you read here.

Who writes the content

Every article is written and published by Mujahid Lone. I’m not a doctor, dietitian, or certified trainer — I’m a self-taught health enthusiast, and this site is about making published research and guidance from medical institutions easier to understand and apply. Articles are not reviewed by a medical professional before publishing. You can read more on the About Us page.

How articles are researched

Articles are based on published evidence rather than personal opinion. When researching a topic, I give priority to peer-reviewed studies and reviews (for example, those indexed in PubMed), guidance from government health agencies such as the NIH, CDC, and USDA, and information from established medical institutions such as Harvard Health and Cleveland Clinic. Where the research is limited, mixed, or only done in animals or small groups, the article should say so rather than overstate the benefit.

Sources

Articles end with a Sources section listing the references they rely on, and key claims link to them in the text. If you find a claim that isn’t supported by its source, please let me know.

How AI tools are used

I use AI tools to help with outlining and first drafts. Every article is then edited by me, checked against its sources, and published only after I’ve reviewed it. Some featured images are also created with AI image tools. AI is never used to invent sources, statistics, quotes, or personal experiences.

Keeping articles accurate and up to date

Health research changes, so existing articles are reviewed and updated when new evidence appears, when a reader points out a problem, or when a source link stops working. When two articles end up covering the same ground, they may be combined into one, more complete guide.

Corrections

If you spot an error, an outdated claim, or a broken source, please get in touch through the Contact page. Confirmed errors are corrected as soon as possible.
