How is EEINA content written?

How we choose topics

We start from two places: real reader questions in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, and gaps in trustworthy Arabic content. We prefer topics that serve a practical decision at the table — how much to eat, what to choose, when to see a specialist — over topics that merely attract visits.

Which sources we rely on

We rank sources by strength and cite the source next to every number or scientific claim inside the article:

• Systematic reviews and meta-analyses, then peer-reviewed clinical trials.
• Official guidelines and reference databases, such as the World Health Organization, USDA, and the University of Sydney glycemic index database.
• Local figures from official Saudi bodies when available.

We never base a health claim on a social media post or a commercial blog, and we never invent a number without a source. How EEINA calculates nutrition values in the platform itself is documented on the methodology page.

Who writes, and how it is reviewed

Articles are written by the EEINA editorial team as an organizational author, then every article goes through editorial review: source and number checking, language and clarity editing, and a critical read that asks "does this serve a real reader?". When we work with named specialist writers or reviewers in the future, their name and credentials will appear on the article itself.

Editorial review is not medical review

We draw a clear line between two things:

• Editorial review: checking sources, numbers and language, done by the editorial team. This happens for every article.
• Medical review: a review performed by a licensed physician or clinical dietitian, under their name, credentials and review date.

We do not label any article "medically reviewed" unless a real medical review by a named, qualified professional has been completed, and we never use the names or logos of official bodies to imply an endorsement that did not happen. Content that touches health conditions is written as educational explanation, with an explicit referral to specialists.

Updates and corrections

Scientific evidence changes, so every article carries its publication date and last-updated date, and we revisit articles periodically as guidelines change or stronger reviews appear.

If you find an error — a number, a source, or wording that suggests more than the evidence says — write to us and we will review and correct it, noting substantive corrections on the article itself.

The limits of this content

The EEINA Library is educational content that helps you understand nutrition and make better decisions. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, or replace consultation with a physician or licensed dietitian — especially if you are managing an existing condition or taking medication.
