Sophie Bennett
Sophie writes the health and nutrition explainers. Her editorial focus includes nutrients, dietary patterns, energy metabolism, hydration, supplements, sports nutrition and the interpretation of health research for general readers.
She approaches health content by separating established evidence from preliminary findings and by making study limitations clear. Health-related material requiring clinical interpretation should be checked by an appropriately qualified medical reviewer before publication and updated when important new evidence or guidance becomes available.

Who checks their work
Elias Norford — author,editor
Elias trained in biomedical science before completing postgraduate study in epidemiology, where he developed a particular interest in study design, population risk, disease surveillance and the interpretation of health data. He later moved into non-clinical research communication, translating technical reports and peer-reviewed findings for general audiences and supporting editorial teams with evidence summaries and source checking. At Cabdirect, he covers epidemiology, infectious-disease prevention, screening, vaccination evidence, community health and the interpretation of population-level findings. His writing focuses on separating association from causation, explaining uncertainty clearly and showing readers where evidence is strong, limited or still developing. His health and medicine articles follow Cabdirect's editorial checking process before publication. Claims, statistics and source dates are checked against the cited evidence, and health content is reviewed in line with the site's editorial policy, with corrections recorded when substantive changes are required.
