   This nutrition myths article was unusually well sourced, with the great majority of its cited studies and figures checking out exactly against the real published research. Three small issues were found: a study was described as a randomized controlled trial when it was actually a single-arm intervention trial, and two citations had incorrect publication years or journal names.

   What the page claimed

   The article described a 2020 Salk Institute time-restricted eating study as a randomized controlled trial using '14:10' notation, when the real study was a single-arm, non-randomized trial using a 10-hour eating window. It dated a well-known sugar-industry documents paper by Kearns, Schmidt, and Glantz to 2014, when it was actually published in 2016. It attributed a 2016 full-fat dairy meta-analysis by Drouin-Chartier and colleagues to the European Journal of Nutrition, when it was actually published in Advances in Nutrition.

   What was corrected

   The article now accurately describes the Salk Institute study as a single-arm trial using its real 10-hour eating window design, correctly dates the Kearns, Schmidt, and Glantz paper to 2016, and correctly attributes the Drouin-Chartier dairy review to Advances in Nutrition.

   Why: Web searches confirmed that nearly every citation in this article, including its most specific figures (participant counts, percentages, and effect sizes), matched the real published research precisely. Three citations had small but verifiable errors in study design description, publication year, or journal name, which were corrected while leaving the accurate content of the article otherwise untouched.
