Corrections

Help us keep every guide honest.

If you find an inaccuracy, an outdated citation, a broken reference, a missing study, or a safety detail we should sharpen, please tell us. We would rather be corrected than be wrong. Every correction is reviewed, logged in the article's version history, and thanked.

›What changed my mind
On the record

What changed my mind.

Every honest publication has to be willing to say, "we thought this, and now we think that, because of this evidence." Here is our running list.

June 1, 2026 · Breakfast

We used to say
'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day' — eat within an hour of waking.
We now say
Meal timing is personal. What matters is total daily quality, protein distribution, and not eating close to bedtime.
Why
Time-restricted-eating trials and the reanalysis of older observational breakfast data show the effect size for 'eat breakfast early' is much smaller than we implied.

    April 11, 2026 · Saturated fat

    We used to say
    All saturated fat is harmful and should be minimised aggressively.
    We now say
    The food matters more than the isolated nutrient. Butter, cheese, and yoghurt behave differently than processed meat or coconut oil despite similar saturated-fat content.
    Why
    The food-matrix literature (Astrup et al., BMJ 2020; updated 2024 reviews) shows dairy fat in fermented foods does not carry the cardiovascular risk once assumed.

      March 2, 2026 · Cardio vs. strength for longevity

      We used to say
      Aerobic exercise is the foundation; strength training is a nice addition.
      We now say
      Muscle mass and grip strength in the fifties and sixties predict independence in the eighties. Strength training is foundational, not optional.
      Why
      The past decade of sarcopenia and all-cause-mortality research has moved resistance training from 'nice to have' to 'protective for later life'.

      January 5, 2026 · Antioxidant supplements

      We used to say
      High-dose antioxidant supplements (vitamins C, E, beta-carotene) reduce chronic-disease risk.
      We now say
      Antioxidants from whole foods appear beneficial; the same molecules in high-dose supplement form do not consistently reproduce the benefit and can occasionally cause harm.
      Why
      SELECT, ATBC, and CARET trials — and their long-tail follow-ups — showed no benefit or modest harm from isolated antioxidant megadoses.
