Who made that health claim?

First identify whether the speaker is a regulator, researcher or company. Then open the cited source instead of relying on a repost or summary. 21 Ask who paid for the research; funders can benefit from certain results. 21 An advertiser's statement is labeled Company claim in our posts; the label identifies the speaker and is not an evidence conclusion.

Find the methods, the participants or model, the comparison group, and the measured outcome. 21 A BPC-157 paper that examined a rat colon model is labeled Animal study. AnimalPreliminary1

A systematic review summarizes earlier studies according to its methods; it does not add a new group of human participants. ReviewPreliminary23 Trace a specific claim back to the original study and preserve its evidence type. 21

Do not turn the unsupported statement into a factual claim. Record the exact wording, seek an authoritative primary source, and omit the line if no match is found. This is our SOP-05 publication rule. The example in our Week 1 video is explicitly ILLUSTRATIVE and refers to no real company or product.

1. Identify the speaker and open the original cited record. 21
2. Find who or what was studied and what was measured. 21
3. A review is not another original human trial. ReviewPreliminary23
4. If no authoritative source matches a medical line, remove it under SOP-05.
