Liver health is a topic where bad information can cause real harm. This page explains how articles on Daeguslivercare are researched, written, tested and corrected.
Sources we rely on
Health and nutrition statements are based on, in order of preference:
- Current clinical practice guidelines from recognised medical societies, for example the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), the Korean Association for the Study of the Liver (KASL) and the Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA).
- Government health bodies, such as Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Healthdirect, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and the World Health Organization.
- Systematic reviews, meta-analyses and large peer-reviewed studies.
Single small studies, animal studies and manufacturer claims are described as such, and are never presented as proof. Every Liver Basics and Myths vs Evidence article lists its sources at the end.
How recipes are developed
Every recipe is cooked and tested in our own kitchen before it is published.
Photos
Some photos on this site are our own. Others are licensed stock photographs, mainly from Unsplash, and the photographer is credited under each one. Stock photos are illustrative: they may not show the exact dish or version described in the recipe.
Nutrition figures per serve are calculated from ingredient weights using Food Standards Australia New Zealand’s Australian Food Composition Database and the nutrition panels of the specific products used. They are estimates: brands of soy sauce, doenjang and gochujang vary widely in sodium.
What we will not do
- Claim that a food, drink, herb or supplement treats, cures or reverses liver disease.
- Accept payment to recommend supplements, detox products or hangover remedies.
- Present an article as medically reviewed unless a named, qualified reviewer has actually reviewed it.
