Why we exist
Health is the most-searched and worst-served topic on the internet. Feeds are full of miracle cures, fear bait and influencer advice with no evidence behind it. The Evidence Desk was founded by experienced journalists to do the opposite: slow, verified, source-linked health journalism written in plain language.
How every article is made
1. Evidence first. We start from peer-reviewed research and official bodies such as the WHO, ICMR and national health agencies, never from a press release or a viral post. Every article cites its sources at the end; across the pilot that is 40 sources over 20 articles, and zero unsourced claims.
2. Plain language, honest uncertainty. We separate what studies show from what they merely suggest. Association is not causation, and our articles say so. We do not use false certainty to win clicks.
3. Clinician review. Before final publication, each article is reviewed by a doctor registered with the National Medical Commission or the relevant statutory register: an endocrinologist for diabetes and weight-loss medicine articles, a pulmonologist for lung health, and so on.
4. Dated and re-checked. Every article carries a publication date and a medically-reviewed date. Source links are re-verified on the day of publication, and articles are updated when evidence changes.
What we will never do
We do not give individual medical advice, dosing instructions or diagnosis. We do not accept payment to alter editorial conclusions. Advertising and sponsored material, when they exist, will be visibly separate from journalism.
Our AI policy
Our "Ask the Evidence" tool answers only from the articles on this site and the studies they cite. It does not generate medical claims from general AI knowledge. If we have not covered a topic, the tool says so instead of guessing.
