Dane Marchetti
Editor of this site.
Short answer
Dane Marchetti is a pen name. There is no doctor, dietitian or researcher behind this byline, and this site claims no professional qualification. What it claims is that it reads the research carefully and reports it honestly, including when the honest answer is disappointing.
Dane Marchetti is the pen name of the writer and editor responsible for this site. Everything published here is written or edited under that name.
Saying this plainly matters more than it might elsewhere. Health sites routinely dress up their writers with implied qualifications, and readers making decisions about their health deserve to know exactly how much authority is behind what they are reading. Here the answer is: careful reading, honest reporting, and named sources. Nothing more than that.
How pages here get written
The question the reader arrived with goes at the top, answered in plain words. The explanation follows. Claims name the research behind them, with a link.
Null results get reported like any other result. Where a claim has been tested and failed, saying so is more useful than quietly moving on to a claim that sounds better, even though the second option is what most of this industry does.
