Transparency and advertising

This policy applies to:

• advertising and promotional spaces
• sponsored content
• commercial collaborations
• informational projects carried out with companies or third parties
• financial relationships with advertisers

LIFE Science Tube was established as an independent scientific outreach project. Every published content has the following primary objectives:

• to inform accurately and based on scientific evidence
• to promote the protection of public health
• to counter misinformation in the field of nutrition and health

Commercial communication is permitted only if compatible with these principles and does not compromise editorial and scientific independence.

LIFE Science Tube clearly, explicitly and unequivocally distinguishes between:

• independent editorial content
• scientific popularization content
• sponsored or advertising content

Any commercial or sponsored content is always clearly identified as such, in compliance with applicable regulations and the principles of fairness towards readers.

Advertising content disguised as scientific information is never published

In all circumstances:

• LIFE Science Tube maintains full editorial and scientific autonomy
• companies do not influence content, conclusions or interpretations
• no collaboration can modify informational messages
• editorial choices are motivated exclusively by scientific and ethical criteria

LIFE Science Tube requires that:

• any potential conflicts of interest are disclosed
• the information provided is truthful and verifiable
• the content does not promote benefits that cannot be demonstrated or misleading messages

Lack of transparency constitutes grounds for exclusion or termination of the collaboration.

In the field of health and nutrition, communication has a direct impact on individual behaviors. For this reason LIFE Science Tube does not host:

• sensationalist messages
• promises of miraculous results
• communications potentially harmful to health
• content that conflicts with scientific consensus

Scientific communication must never become promotional or prescriptive messaging

This section is intended to:

• protect readers
• ensure clarity and transparency
• define the scope of commercial communication
• demonstrate editorial responsibility
• strengthen credibility with search engines and AI systems
