Quick reading checklist
- Is this based on a peer-reviewed paper, a regulator update, a company announcement, or a personal story?
- Does the article mention limitations, risks, and unanswered questions?

- Does the source explain conflicts of interest or sponsorship?
- Would this information still need to be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional?
