We're drowning in claims
An influencer swears sugar feeds cancer. A brand promises its yoghurt “boosts immunity”. An alarmist headline makes you feel guilty about your breakfast. A lobby funds a study that lands, by sheer coincidence, on the right side. And you, caught in the middle, are just trying to eat well.
The problem isn't a lack of information: it's the overload. Every day, thousands of messages about food contradict each other, and it becomes almost impossible to know who to believe.
Food disinformation runs on one simple engine: it plays on <strong>fear</strong> and on <strong>guilt</strong>. Fear of getting it wrong, fear of falling ill, guilt about not doing it “properly”. Those two levers sell books, supplements, diets and subscriptions. Rarely your health.
Check in seconds, without deciding for you
Vroooz gives you back one very simple power: the power to check. You tell us what you heard, at the table or on social media, and we lay out the facts, sourced, in three seconds. No sermon, no imposed truth: just enough to form your own view.
We have one rule that never moves: we rate <strong>the claim</strong>, never the people. We don't judge individuals, we look at the message and what backs it. A funding source is a fact we can cite, not a trial.
And when the science doesn't settle it, we tell you plainly: <strong>“we don't know yet”</strong>. Absence of proof isn't proof of the opposite. We prefer the honesty of a doubt to the false confidence of a rushed verdict.
The time we aim for to give you a clear, readable verdict.
The questions asked of every claim: who says it, on what evidence, who funds it, what they're selling you, what interests lie behind.
Ads, lobbies, reselling your data. Not now, not ever.
Independence, no compromise
Most sources that talk to you about nutrition have someone to keep happy: an advertiser, a manufacturer, a lobby. We have no one. No ads, no lobbies: that's what lets us call things as they are.
No advertiser, no manufacturer, no interest group funds Vroooz. No one to answer to, except you.
We don't live off surveilling you. Your checks stay yours, we never sell them.
We search public science live (Europe PMC, PubMed) and weigh the level of evidence, instead of quoting a headline.
We look at who funds a study or a message, and who stands to gain from making you believe something. Often, it all becomes clear.
We take an <b>anti-lobby</b> stance, not an anti-science one. We don't tear anyone down, we don't turn people against each other. We just put the evidence and the interests on the table, and let you look.
Born in a studio that builds for the common good
Vroooz was born in a studio, <strong>Goood Studio</strong>, which builds useful tools around food, designed for the common good rather than for profit alone. Vroooz is its most direct building block: putting fact-checking within everyone's reach.
Our ambition fits in one word. We want to “<strong>vrooze</strong>” a piece of info to become a reflex, as natural as checking the weather before heading out. Free, simple, open to all, so no one gets fooled again by a slick, well-edited video.
Without ads or lobbies, we run on you
Our independence has a price, and that's the whole point. By refusing ads, lobbies and data reselling, we deliberately give up the usual ways of funding a tool like this. Only one resource is left: you.
Every euro you give funds directly what matters: the time spent digging into studies, cross-checking funding, writing clear and honest verdicts. <strong>Not marketing, not growth at any cost.</strong> Independence, plain and simple.
If Vroooz has already saved you from a hoax, or helped you see clearly, you can help us keep going. A one-off gift, even a small one, keeps this tool free and open for everyone else. The “Support us” button is right there, at the bottom of your screen, whenever you like.
<b>Thank you.</b> Really. Every bit of support makes us a little harder to silence, and a little more useful to those who just want to eat without being led astray.
