Our Sourcing Standards
At Eatwellbewell, we believe transparency is the foundation of trust. Every piece of content you read on our platform is carefully sourced, verified, and grounded in evidence. We're committed to helping you make informed decisions about what you eat and how you feel.
Where Our Information Comes From
We draw from multiple authoritative sources to ensure our content is accurate, current, and reflects the best available evidence about food, nutrition, and wellbeing.
Peer-Reviewed Research
We reference studies published in reputable scientific journals that have undergone rigorous peer review. These include research from institutions like Oxford, Cambridge, and leading universities across the UK and internationally. Our team reviews abstracts and findings to distil evidence into clear, accessible guidance.
Government & Public Health Agencies
We consult official guidance from the UK Food Standards Agency, Public Health England, and the British Nutrition Foundation. International standards from the World Health Organization and leading health agencies inform our content where relevant to readers in the UK seeking global perspective on nutrition science.
Accredited Industry Experts
Our editorial team includes professionals with credentials and years of experience in nutrition science, food psychology, and public health. We consult with specialists in specific areas — from vegetable agriculture to food preparation techniques — to ensure accuracy and nuance in every article.
Academic Institutions
We reference publications from leading academic centres studying nutrition and food science. Research from university food science departments, agricultural programmes, and clinical nutrition centres provides evidence-based insights into how food affects our bodies and minds.
Evidence Databases
PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library are key resources we use to find current research. We search for the most recent studies while prioritising systematic reviews and meta-analyses that synthesise findings across multiple investigations, giving a comprehensive view of evidence.
Industry Standards & Best Practices
We reference guidelines from professional bodies, industry associations, and recognised standards bodies. These include food safety certifications, quality assurance frameworks, and ethical sourcing practices that reflect current best practices across food production and distribution.
Our Verification Process
Every article follows a rigorous verification workflow to ensure accuracy, clarity, and relevance to our UK audience.
Research & Source Selection
Our writers identify current, relevant sources using academic databases and official guidance. We prioritise recent studies and established best practices, cross-referencing multiple sources to identify consensus.
Editorial Review
A second editor reviews all content for accuracy, clarity, and tone. We check citations, verify facts, and ensure claims are fairly represented. Any unclear or unsupported statements are flagged for revision or removal.
Expert Consultation
For topics requiring specialist knowledge, we consult qualified professionals — food scientists, public health experts, or researchers in the field. They review content for technical accuracy and contextual appropriateness.
Publication & Updates
Once published, articles are monitored for emerging research or changes in official guidance. We update content regularly to reflect the latest evidence, with publication dates clearly marked for reader reference.
Our Commitment to Transparency
What We Do
- Cite sources: Every factual claim or study reference includes a source attribution so you can explore further.
- Disclose conflicts: If a writer or expert has a relevant professional interest, we note it clearly.
- Date our content: Publication and update dates are always visible so you know how current the information is.
- Explain limitations: We note where evidence is limited, debate exists among experts, or research is ongoing.
- Correct errors: If inaccuracies are discovered, we issue corrections promptly and transparently.
What We Don't Do
- Make medical claims: We do not diagnose, prescribe, or offer personalised medical advice. Our content is educational.
- Cherry-pick evidence: We aim to represent the weight of evidence fairly, not select only studies that support a predetermined conclusion.
- Hide sponsorships: Any financial relationships, partnerships, or sponsored content are clearly labelled.
- Promise results: We share evidence about how food affects wellbeing, but individual outcomes vary. We don't guarantee specific outcomes.
- Prioritise sales: We are an editorial platform, not a commercial marketplace. Our goal is informing you, not selling you products.
