Truth Trace
Trace a claim back to its origin and watch how it mutated across sources — so you can see exactly where the truth got bent.
Coffee & heart-failure risk
The core still traces to the original source, but a caveat was dropped at the headline stage and never restored.
Host: Cleared only with the caveat put back. Read the original framing, not the headline.
“An observational study of 21,000 adults associated 2–3 cups of coffee a day with 12% lower heart-failure risk; authors caution it shows correlation, not cause, and excludes people with arrhythmia.”
Original peer-reviewed finding, with all caveats stated.
“A new study links 2–3 cups of coffee a day to lower heart-failure risk, though researchers stress it can't prove cause and doesn't apply to those with arrhythmia.”
Faithful wire summary — every caveat carried.
“Coffee Cuts Your Heart-Failure Risk, Study Finds.”
⚑ Distortion entered here. Dropped the 'correlation not cause' and arrhythmia caveats to fit a headline.
“Drinking coffee prevents heart disease — your daily cup is protecting your heart.”
All caveats stripped; a correlation is restated as a blanket promise.
