The storyList of evidence-based guides
All of our guides are meant to be evidence-based, meaning they are based on science. However, we’re now working to make this even more explicit, and to make sure our guides fully comply with our policy for evidence-based guides. This requires these guides to be medically reviewed and updated at least once per year.
Here are the guides that have been medically reviewed and updated so far, with the dates of their last review, and the latest updates first:
