LEGH articles name their sources, and we check what we write against them. We do not claim that every sentence is beyond question. Research changes, studies measure different things, and credible sources sometimes point in different directions.
What we do
- We build our articles on published research and name the sources.
- We check figures and findings against the original studies, and we correct what does not match. That work is ongoing.
- When we find a mistake, we fix it and post the change on our Updates page the same day.
When two pages seem to disagree
Two good studies can give different answers. They may have studied different people, measured different things, or been done at different times. Later research can also refine or overturn earlier findings. We cannot control that, and we would rather tell you than hide it.
If one of our pages seems to contradict another, or a source you trust says something different:
- Read both with an open mind.
- Ask who was studied, what was measured, and how large the study was.
- Remember that an association is not the same as a cause.
- Weigh the perspectives for yourself, and bring questions to a professional you trust.
What this page is not
LEGH is education, not diagnosis or treatment. Nothing here replaces care from a licensed professional. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
If you see something on the site that does not match its source, tell us at contact@legh.org.
