Everyday Cholesterol Guide publishes educational content about cholesterol, food choices, lifestyle, testing and treatment questions.
This policy describes the standards we aim to follow when preparing and maintaining that content.
Purpose and Scope
Our articles help readers understand terminology, evaluate claims and prepare questions for healthcare professionals.
They do not provide individual diagnoses, prescriptions or treatment decisions. General reference tables and sample meals cannot account for every reader’s medical history.
For the website’s purpose, visit our About page.
Source Selection
We prioritise sources relevant to the claim being discussed, including:
- Clinical guidelines from recognised professional organisations.
- Public-health information from government health agencies.
- Original research papers.
- Laboratory documentation for specific test methods and instructions.
We use seller materials to describe what a product advertises, rather than as independent proof that its health claims are correct.
Source links allow readers to examine the underlying information. A source’s relevance depends on its methods, population, date and findings—not simply its title.
Explaining Evidence and Uncertainty
We distinguish between:
- Laboratory findings and effects demonstrated in people.
- Associations and evidence of cause and effect.
- Changes in blood markers and improvements in clinical outcomes.
- General guidance and individual medical advice.
- A product’s advertised benefits and independently supported findings.
We aim to state uncertainty clearly. A plausible explanation of a biological process does not establish that a commercial intervention works.
Medical Review and Credentials
A citation to a medical source does not mean an article has been reviewed by a clinician.
We do not claim clinical authorship or professional medical review unless the person, credentials and contribution are identified accurately.
Content should be used as education alongside appropriate professional care. Readers should not stop or change prescribed treatment because of an article.
Our cholesterol medication guide provides questions for a discussion with a prescriber.
Product Reviews
Reviews should explain what was assessed and what remains unverified.
If the full paid product has not been accessed, personally used or independently tested, that limitation should be stated. Reviewing a sales page is different from reviewing the complete product.
We do not invent customer experiences, personal recovery stories, professional endorsements or test results.
Prices, access arrangements and refund terms may change. Readers should confirm the conditions applying to their transaction before purchasing.
Affiliate Relationships
Some links may generate a commission if a reader purchases through them.
Affiliate links should be identified clearly near commercial recommendations. A potential commission is not a reason to present unsupported benefits as established facts or omit material limitations.
Read our Affiliate Disclosure for further information.
Recipes and Meal Plans
Unless expressly stated otherwise, recipes and meal plans are illustrative, have not been kitchen-tested and do not have calculated nutrient totals.
Serving estimates are approximate. Actual nutrition depends on ingredients, brands, portions and preparation.
Readers with prescribed nutrient limits, allergies or other dietary requirements should seek appropriate individual advice.
See our recipe guide for examples of this approach.
Images and Illustrations
Images may include AI-generated illustrations or food scenes. They are illustrative and should not be interpreted as evidence of product use, clinical results or actual patient experiences.
We do not use invented before-and-after images to substantiate health claims.
Alt text should describe what an image shows without adding unsupported medical promises.
AI-Assisted Content
AI tools have been used to assist with drafting content and creating some illustrations on this site.
AI assistance does not establish accuracy or clinical expertise. Statements still need checking against relevant sources, and uncertainty should remain visible.
AI-generated text or imagery should not be presented as a real person’s experience, professional review or documented outcome.
Dates and Updates
A publication date identifies when an article was published. An update date should reflect a substantive change, such as a correction, revised guidance or newly verified product information.
Dates should not change automatically to suggest that an article has been reviewed when no review occurred.
We do not promise a fixed update schedule. Readers should check current professional guidance and purchase terms when making decisions.
Corrections
To report a possible error, use our Contact page.
Please provide the article URL, the passage concerned and a relevant source where possible. A correction request should be assessed against the evidence rather than treated as automatically correct.
Further information is available on our Sources and Corrections page.
External Links
Links provide access to supporting information or relevant services. External websites control their own content, privacy practices and commercial terms.
A link does not mean that every statement on the destination website is endorsed.
Reader Responsibility
Use the articles to understand information and prepare useful questions. Discuss personal symptoms, test results, treatment choices and substantial dietary changes with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
If you need urgent medical attention, seek it directly rather than waiting for a website response.
