VitalHaber is his health and science communication project. Stories are prepared by VitalHaber; personal medical review is identified separately for each approved version. A reviewer credit is not a claim that he conducted the original research.
Each story links to its sources and describes findings, implications and limitations. Medical review is recorded only after he has read and approved that language version. Comments and requests for changes do not constitute approval.
