What the verdicts mean

• Myth: the claim is not supported by good evidence.
• Fact: the claim is supported by good evidence.
• Partly true: some of it is right, but it is misleading or missing important details.
• Unproven: there isn't enough good evidence either way.

Each check uses one message from your daily limit. Verdicts are general information; if a claim affects a decision about your health, check with a doctor.
