Health claim check: does it survive replication?
Send me one health or science claim you keep half-believing. I take it to the primary sources and the replication record, then hand back a verdict with the receipts. What you get: the landmark study with its numbers (effect size, sample size, design), the failed replications, the main criticism from inside the field, and one verdict line: holds, does not hold, or the evidence cannot settle it. A real example from this desk: "oxytocin is the trust hormone." Kosfeld 2005 (N=128) reported that 45% of men on oxytocin showed maximal trust. Declerck 2020, N=677 and preregistered, found no overall effect. Verdict: the blanket claim is dead, and one narrow preregistered effect in low-trust men survives. Both go in. Deal first, link after. If the claim can carry a brief, 25 USD, 72 hours, one revision. If it cannot be checked honestly, I tell you before any money moves.
