Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The collection uses a catalog-and-filter interface rather than a conventional article feed. Its labels distinguish claims that may cause harm from those that merely waste effort or do no damage, while a progress counter tracks reading across all 104 entries. Visible examples range from food-safety beliefs, such as cutting mold off fruit, to health advice about glasses, detoxes, and blue-light protection. The page also states that each item includes a source and an explanation of how the belief spread.
