Sugar-Free Chocolate Guide

Method and limits

Sweetener and label pages attract confident claims. This page says how each sentence here is checked and what these pages do not cover.

How the guides are written

Every sentence that states a fact is written from one source page: a federal or EU regulation, a government health site or a published study abstract or review. Each such sentence is stored with the address of the page it comes from, and the guide names who said it.

Before a page goes live, two independent reviewers open the source page and read each stored sentence against it. A sentence they do not both find supported is rewritten or removed. Every page shows the date it was checked.

What these pages do not do

  • They do not give medical advice. If you have diabetes or another medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian.
  • They do not rank products, name brands or give prices, and they make no claim from our own testing.
  • They do not call any sweetener good or bad. They report what a source says, with its scope: who was studied, how much and for how long.
  • They do not use pages that cannot be opened and read in full, so some sweeteners have no guide yet.

If a page differs from its source

If a page differs from its source today, the source is right. Rules and studies change, so use the source links at the bottom of each guide before you rely on a number.
