🤖 About the Project
Validation methodology and AI transparency
Validation Methodology
Each claim from the podcast was validated following a rigorous and systematic process to ensure the project's scientific integrity.
Identify verifiable claims in the podcast
Identify the underlying concept or mechanism
Search peer-reviewed studies on PubMed/PMC
Analyze methodology and effect size
Assign level of support (✅/⚠️/❌)
Record nuances, limitations and links
Project Principles
Scientific Honesty
Prioritize scientific truth over an attractive narrative
Total Transparency
Show what is validated as well as what is refuted
Citation Rigor
Direct links to PMC/PDF whenever possible
Clear Nuances
Correlation ≠ causation, document limitations
No Alarmism
Do not exaggerate findings, contextualize risks
Critical Thinking
Question claims, even those from the podcast
🤖 AI Transparency
This project uses Artificial Intelligence tools in a transparent and ethical way. AI accelerates the work, but it does not invent data.
✓ What AI DOES
- Transcription: The podcast was transcribed by Otter.ai
- Search: Claude and ChatGPT helped find relevant studies
- Organization: AI assistants structured and categorized information
- Synthesis: AI helped summarize and extract key findings
- Documentation: Creation of files and project structure
✗ What AI DOES NOT do
- Invent studies: All studies are real and published
- Modify data: Scientific findings were not altered
- Create fake citations: All references are verifiable
- Exaggerate findings: Nuances and limitations were preserved
- Replace human judgment: Final interpretation is human
Source Verification
All sources cited in this project are real scientific studies published in peer-reviewed journals. You can verify each claim:
- ✓ Direct links to PubMed Central (PMC)
- ✓ Accessible PDFs of full studies
- ✓ Verifiable DOI and PMID numbers
- ✓ Publications in recognized journals
Our Commitment
"AI is an acceleration tool, not an invention tool. The science we present is 100% real. AI helped us find and organize it faster."
This is a non-profit educational project. All content is based on peer-reviewed scientific evidence.
Project Limitations
🔬 Correlation ≠ Causation
Most studies show correlation, not direct causation
👥 Individual Variability
Not all users are affected equally; genetic and environmental factors matter
📊 Effect Sizes
Some effects are moderate/small, not massive
🌍 Cultural Context
Many studies focus on Western/educated populations
