Editorial Policy

Last updated: August 3, 2026

HealthInfos is written and edited by one person — Sanghoon K. — who is not a medical professional. Because this site publishes health information, you deserve a precise account of how it is made and what standards it is held to. That is what this page is.

Who is responsible

Every article on this site is written, checked, and published by Sanghoon K. There is no editorial board and no medical reviewer on staff, and this site does not claim otherwise. Accountability for anything published here — including any error — rests with one named person, reachable at shkim2828@gmail.com.

Sources

Articles are built from primary and authoritative sources only:

  • Public health authorities — U.S. National Institutes of Health (including the Office of Dietary Supplements), the CDC, and the WHO
  • Academic and clinical institutions — Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Stanford Medicine
  • Professional association guidelines — for example ACSM, the American Heart Association, the American Thyroid Association
  • Peer-reviewed studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, cited by name where a specific finding is quoted

Other health-content websites are not used as sources. Every article ends with a linked source list, and where a specific figure comes from a named study or guideline the article identifies it in the text — so a claim can be traced back to a document you can read yourself, not just to this site.

Use of AI, disclosed

An AI assistant is used to research and draft the articles on this site. This is disclosed on every article rather than hidden, because readers are entitled to know how what they are reading was produced.

Disclosure is not a disclaimer. Articles are published under a named person, which means accountability for anything wrong here does not diffuse into a process — it lands on me.

It also means the honest basis for trusting an article is not “a human checked it,” which you have no way to audit. It is that every article names and links its sources, so you can check it yourself. Where a specific figure comes from a named study or guideline, the article identifies it in the text precisely so that the claim can be traced past this site to a document you can open. If a source does not support what an article says about it, that is a reportable error and it will be corrected.

Accuracy and uncertainty

Health evidence is frequently mixed, preliminary, or weaker than headlines suggest. The standard here is to represent it as it is:

  • When evidence is weak or early, the article says so plainly rather than implying certainty.
  • Correlation is not reported as causation. Where a study shows an association, the article says association.
  • Popular claims are checked, not repeated. When the evidence contradicts a trend, the article says the trend is wrong.
  • Most guides include a who should be cautious section, because advice that is safe for most adults can be unsafe in pregnancy, with specific medications, or before surgery.

This is not medical advice

HealthInfos provides general information only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it cannot account for your history, medications, or conditions. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider with questions about your health, and never disregard professional advice because of something you read here. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services.

Corrections

Corrections are taken seriously. If you find an error, an outdated figure, or a claim that overstates its evidence, email shkim2828@gmail.com. Verified errors are corrected promptly and the article’s last-updated date is changed so the revision is visible rather than silent.

Advertising and independence

This site is supported by advertising, including Google AdSense. Advertisers have no influence on editorial content, and ads are kept visually distinct from articles.

There are no affiliate links and no products are sold here. This matters for a health site: several articles conclude that a widely marketed supplement is not supported by good evidence, and that conclusion should not be in tension with how the site is funded. See the Privacy Policy for details on advertising and data.
