We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Cancer — The entry states that about 33% of deaths from cancer are caused by tobacco and alcohol, obesity, lack of fruit and vegetables, and lack of exercise, but the widely cited figure is that tobacco alone causes about 30% of cancer deaths, and the other factors con
Asbestos law in the United States — The claim that 'By the early 1990s, more than half of the 25 largest U.S. asbestos manufacturers had declared bankruptcy' is inaccurate; the major wave of bankruptcies among the largest manufacturers occurred later, in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Cancer insurance — The entry states cancer insurance emerged approximately 50 years ago, but the first policy was introduced in 1958, over 65 years ago as of 2024.
Cancer insurance — The entry claims American Heritage Life Insurance Company helped create cancer insurance, but it was a later entrant; Aflac pioneered it in 1958.
Canteen (charity) — Canteen was founded in 1985 by a group of health professionals and volunteers, not by young cancer patients themselves.
Canteen (charity) — Bandanna Day is held on the last Friday of October, not the last Thursday.
Fertility preservation — 'Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS)' is not a recognized medical condition; the correct term is Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Learning problems in childhood cancer — The claim that 'consistently reduced educational attainment among childhood cancer survivors has not been established' is a factual error, as research has consistently found lower educational attainment in survivors, especially those treated with CNS-directed
Obesity and cancer — The entry states that obesity is the third most important preventable cause of cancer behind tobacco and diet, but established sources rank obesity as the second most important preventable cause after tobacco, with diet not consistently ranked second.
Obesity and cancer — The entry states that obesity accounts for about 15% of all preventable cancers, but the accurate phrasing should be 'all cancer cases' or 'cancer incidence,' as not all cancers are preventable.
Cancer prevention — The claim that 'More than 75% of cancer deaths could be avoided' or 'prevented' by avoiding listed risk factors is not supported by established epidemiological consensus; widely cited estimates attribute about 30-50% of cancer deaths to preventable risk factor
Cancer prevention — The statement 'Most cancers stem from environmental exposures that build up as epigenetic damage' is misleading; the primary mechanism is genetic mutations, not solely epigenetic damage.
