Disclaimer

Last updated: September 9, 2026

The Greenest is published by The Statement Group Corporation, 7901 4th St N, Suite 300, St. Petersburg, FL 33702. We write about food, cleaner household products, supplements, sleep, and the everyday decisions that add up to feeling better. This page explains what that content is, and what it isn’t. If you plan to act on something you read here, it’s worth two minutes.

This is not medical advice

Everything on this site is general information published for educational purposes. It is not medical advice, not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan, and not tailored to your health history. Reading an article here does not create a doctor-patient, dietitian-client, or any other professional relationship between you and us.

Our writers report published research and their own experience. Unless an article says otherwise, the person who wrote it is a journalist rather than a physician, registered dietitian, or pharmacist, and nothing here should be read as coming from your care team.

Talk with your doctor first

Before you start a new supplement, change how you eat, begin an exercise routine, or stop or adjust anything you were prescribed, run it past a qualified provider who actually knows your history. This matters most if you are pregnant or nursing, managing a chronic condition, taking prescription medication, or recovering from surgery.

Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay getting it, because of something you read on this site. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately.

Where medical review applies

Some articles on this site are reviewed by a licensed clinician before publication. Where that has happened, you will see the reviewer’s name and credential near the top of the article. If no reviewer is named, the article has not been through clinical review, and you should read it as general reporting rather than a professional opinion.

Food, recipes, and allergies

Check ingredient labels yourself. A recipe cannot account for your allergies, intolerances, or medical dietary restrictions, and manufacturers reformulate products without announcing it. If you are managing a condition like diabetes, celiac disease, or kidney disease, or you are on a medically supervised diet, clear new recipes with your care team before you cook them.

Nutrition information is an estimate

Nutrition figures on our recipes are calculated from standard ingredient databases and given per serving as a courtesy. Real values shift with brands, quantities, substitutions, and how you cook. They are close enough for everyday planning. If you need precise numbers for a medical reason, verify them yourself or with a professional.

Supplements, and what the FDA requires us to say

When we write about vitamins, protein powders, botanicals, or other supplements, we are reporting research and experience, not making health claims.

Statements on this site about dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. No product mentioned here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Supplements are regulated as food rather than medicine, quality varies between manufacturers, and they can interact with prescription drugs. Bring the actual label to your doctor or pharmacist before you add anything.

Products we write about

When we recommend a product, we are giving an editorial opinion based on research, testing, or reporting, not a guarantee. We do not manufacture anything we cover and we cannot promise a product will work for you, arrive as described, or stay the same after we publish. Formulations, certifications, prices, and ownership all change. Anything you buy is a transaction between you and that seller, on that seller’s terms.

Your results will vary

Any outcome we describe, whether it comes from a study, a routine, or one person’s experience, is not a promise about you. Genetics, health conditions, medication, sleep, stress, and consistency all matter more than any single article.

Accuracy, and its limits

We work to keep articles accurate and to update them as research moves. Even so, science changes, sources contain errors, and we make mistakes. This site and its content are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of anything published here, and The Statement Group Corporation is not liable for any loss, injury, or damage connected with your use of the site or reliance on its content.

If you find something wrong or out of date, tell us. We would rather hear it from you than leave it up.

How this site makes money

The Greenest is free to read because of advertising and affiliate links. Both are disclosed here in line with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidance on endorsements and testimonials.

Affiliate links. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy through them. The price you pay is exactly the same either way. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We also participate in other affiliate programs from time to time.

Advertising. Ads on this site are served by third-party advertising partners, which are named in our Privacy Policy along with the data they collect and how to opt out. We do not choose which specific ads appear on a given page. An advertisement is not an endorsement, and we have not vetted the advertiser or its claims.

What money does not buy. No brand can pay to be recommended here, to change a rating, or to see an article before it publishes. Whether a product earns us a commission has no bearing on whether we recommend it, and we keep coverage of products we earn nothing from.

Third-party websites

When we link out, whether to a study, a retailer, or another publication, we are pointing rather than vouching. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, or practices. Their terms and privacy policies, not ours, govern your visit there.

Accessibility

We want this site to work for everyone. Our Accessibility Statement explains what we have done and how to tell us when something falls short.
