Editorial Standards
At Clean Eating Wisdom, we are committed to delivering accurate, well-researched content that supports your journey toward better health through nutrition and lifestyle choices. Our editorial standards ensure every article meets rigorous quality and integrity benchmarks.
Our Publishing Principles
Accuracy First
Every claim in our articles is verified against peer-reviewed research, scientific publications, and authoritative nutrition sources. We distinguish between evidence-based findings and emerging research.
Expert Contributors
Our writers include registered nutritionists, health journalists, and wellness researchers with documented credentials. All contributors disclose their qualifications and any potential conflicts of interest.
Transparency & Disclosure
We clearly label sponsored content, partnerships, and affiliate relationships. Our readers always know the source of information and any potential biases that may influence our editorial decisions.
Living Knowledge
We update articles when new research emerges or when we discover outdated information. Our content evolves as scientific understanding advances, and we maintain a public record of significant revisions.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Research & Source Gathering
Our writers consult peer-reviewed journals, government health agencies (NHS, PHE), academic institutions, and established nutrition databases. We prioritise recent studies while contextualising older foundational research. Every source is documented and cross-referenced.
Editorial Review
Each article undergoes internal review by our editorial team to verify claims, check citation accuracy, and ensure clarity. We assess whether headlines and summaries accurately reflect the evidence presented in the body text.
Expert Verification
When appropriate, we submit articles to qualified nutrition professionals or relevant subject-matter experts for technical accuracy review. Their feedback is incorporated before publication. We maintain a list of reviewers with their credentials available upon request.
Ongoing Monitoring & Updates
After publication, we monitor emerging research and reader feedback. Articles are reviewed regularly for outdated information. Significant updates are noted with publication dates and change summaries so readers understand what has evolved.

Author Credentials & Conflicts of Interest
Writer Qualifications
All contributing writers hold recognised qualifications in nutrition, health sciences, or science journalism. Our team includes Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, registered nutritionists certified by UKVRN, health journalists certified by relevant professional bodies, and researchers with published work in peer-reviewed journals. Each writer's credentials appear with their byline, and full CVs are available upon request.
Disclosure of Conflicts
Writers disclose any personal or financial interests related to article topics—including employment by food/supplement companies, investments, or family ties. We publish these disclosures with articles. If a conflict is significant, we may assign the article to a different writer or partner with an external expert to review the work.
Continuing Education
Our team members engage in ongoing professional development through continuing education, conference attendance, and journal reading. We stay current with evolving nutritional science and maintain professional certifications as required by their disciplines.
Correction & Revision Policy
How We Handle Errors
We take factual errors seriously. If you discover inaccurate information, please contact our editorial team at [email protected] with details about the error and supporting sources. We will investigate promptly and make corrections within 48 hours if the error is confirmed. Minor corrections (spelling, grammar) are made silently. Factual corrections are noted publicly.
Article Updates & Revisions
When new research emerges that changes our understanding of a topic, we update articles to reflect current evidence. Significant updates are marked with a note at the top of the article stating the date of revision and summary of changes. We maintain a change log for articles with multiple updates so readers understand the evolution of content over time.
Example: "Last updated 15 March 2024. Updated section on resistant starch to reflect findings from the 2024 Journal of Nutrition meta-analysis."
Archiving Outdated Content
Articles that are no longer accurate due to superseding research are marked as "archived" and removed from search/recommendation features. We preserve the original text with a note explaining why the content is no longer current and linking readers to updated articles on the same topic.
Reader Feedback
We welcome reader questions and feedback about our articles. Comments help us identify unclear passages, spot errors, and understand what additional information would be helpful. You can submit feedback through our contact form or email us directly at [email protected].
