Editorial policy

Our public content is intended to help adults understand food labels and make informed everyday choices. This policy sets the standards for publishing Sugar Bye guides.

Sources and scope

Use primary sources where possible, including official food-label guidance and original research. Link sources near the claims they support, identify the country a labeling rule applies to, and explain meaningful limits or uncertainty. Do not treat an observational association as proof of cause and effect.

Authorship and review

Show the author or responsible organization on each article. Only identify a healthcare professional as a reviewer when they have actually reviewed that material and agreed to the attribution. Do not imply clinical review where none has taken place.

AI assistance

AI may help with research, outlines and drafting. AI-generated claims must be checked against the cited sources before publication. AI-assisted food-label readings remain subject to errors and should be checked against the packaging.

Examples, opinions and commercial context

Label hypothetical calculations clearly. Identify original product comparisons by their date and method. Distinguish predictions and editorial opinion from established findings. Sugar Bye sells access to parts of its service; linking to our product is a commercial interest, not evidence for a health claim. Disclose sponsorships or affiliate relationships if they apply.

Updates and corrections

Display publication dates and update dates when a substantive change is made. To report an error, email ksamokhin@gmail.com with the article URL and the passage or source in question.

Medical information

Our guides do not diagnose, treat or prevent medical conditions and do not give individual treatment plans. See the medical disclaimer for the scope of the service.
