TRUE
Reviewed evidence supports the claim. We explain only what the evidence shows. A TRUE result does not mean something is safe or works for everyone.
How it works
A simple, careful way to check a health claim.
-
Enter
Type or paste one health claim, like a message you saw online.
-
Check
We compare your words with claims that our team has reviewed and approved.
-
Understand
You see the result, a simple explanation, and links to reliable sources.
The three results
FALSE
Reviewed evidence does not support the claim. We explain what is misleading and, where we can, what reliable evidence says instead.
UNVERIFIED
We could not verify the claim. This is a normal and important result. It does not mean the claim is true or false.
How we stay careful
- We only show TRUE or FALSE for claims that our team approved and that have reliable sources.
- One matching word is never enough. Your claim must be very close to a reviewed claim.
- Words that change the meaning, like “not”, “only” or “always”, must match too.
- If two reviewed entries disagree, we say UNVERIFIED.
- Claims that are still being researched are never shown as TRUE or FALSE.
Common questions
