Fact-checks

Web-search-backed credibility checks of news stories and viral claims, reviewed before publication. Each one scores the content and verifies its key claims against authoritative sources.

This article compiles quotes and business philosophy insights from executives at leading U.S. greenhouse produce operations, sourced from interviews and conference sessions conducted by CEAg World over approximately two years. The content is largely editorial and promotional in nature, presenting first-person industry wisdom rather than making verifiable factual claims. It is credible as a curated industry roundup but should be understood as a trade publication feature rather than independent journalism.

This article profiles Amanda Pasko, a registered dietitian and track coach, who shares her personal approach to protein timing, intake targets, and meal structure for muscle building and fat loss. The advice is broadly consistent with mainstream sports nutrition guidance, though it is primarily presented as one expert's personal routine rather than a comprehensive review of the evidence. The article includes a medical disclaimer and cites a plausible protein intake range, but relies heavily on a single source's anecdotal practice.

This article reports on a two-year, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical trial from Keck Medicine of USC, published in eBioMedicine, finding that high-dose DHA omega-3 supplements did not improve memory, cognitive performance, or hippocampal volume in older adults at elevated Alzheimer's risk, despite successfully reaching the brain. The reporting is generally accurate and well-grounded in the described study methodology, though it relies almost entirely on a single trial and a press release summary rather than the full published paper. The article is broadly reliable but should be read in the context of the wider, mixed body of evidence on omega-3s and cognition.

The Wikipedia article on intermittent fasting (IF) provides a broad, generally evidence-based overview of IF methods, health effects, safety considerations, and cultural/religious practices. Most core claims are supported by peer-reviewed literature, but several are drawn from studies that are preliminary, dated, or contested by more recent research—particularly regarding athletic performance and weight-loss comparisons with calorie restriction. The article appropriately hedges many claims with 'preliminary' and 'uncertain' language, which reflects the genuine state of the science.
