Our commitment
Accuracy matters in health and regulatory reporting. When we get a material fact wrong, we fix it, say what changed, and leave a public record here. We do not silently rewrite a story to hide a substantive error.
What counts as a correction
We publish a formal correction when an article contains a material error, including mistakes involving:
- Names, dates, figures, dosages, endpoints, or study results
- What an agency authorized, warned about, recommended, or concluded
- Misidentification of a study, trial, journal, or document
- Attribution of a finding to the wrong source
- Any other factual error that could meaningfully mislead a reader
Clarifications, updates, and retractions
- Clarification: The original wording was not strictly false, but was ambiguous enough that readers could reasonably misunderstand it. We clarify the language and note the change when warranted.
- Update: New primary-source information materially changes the picture after publication. We update the article and note the update when the change is substantive.
- Retraction: Used rarely, when an article is so fundamentally wrong that a correction cannot repair it. Retracted articles are clearly labeled, and the reason is explained here.
Minor copy edits that do not change meaning (typos, style, formatting) may be made without a formal entry on this page.
How we correct an article
- We verify the issue against the underlying primary source or public record.
- We correct the article text.
- We add a correction, clarification, update, or retraction note to the article when the change is material.
- We log the change on this page with the article title, date of the fix, and a brief description of what was wrong and what was changed.
Corrections are overseen under our Editorial Policy.
How to report an error
If you believe something on Healthier Me NEWS is wrong, contact us with:
- The article URL or headline
- The passage you believe is incorrect
- The correct information, ideally with a link to a primary source (FDA, CDC, journal, ClinicalTrials.gov, or similar)
Use our Contact page.
We review good-faith error reports as quickly as we can. We cannot provide personal medical advice in response to correction requests.
What we generally do not treat as corrections
- Disagreement with an agency’s or study’s conclusion, when we accurately reported what that source said
- Requests to add promotional claims, remove disclosed limitations, or convert reporting into medical advice
- Differences of interpretation that do not involve a factual error in our account of the sources
