Definition of the different accuracy categories

Category	Definition
Objectively True	A claim that is based on scientific evidence and presents all relevant information, whether positive or negative.
Selected Facts	A claim that presents some true selected facts based on scientific evidence but omits important information related to a product.
Minimal Facts	A claim that exaggerates the benefit of the product, with an overemphasis on the benefit supported by poor-quality scientific evidence.
Nonfacts	A claim that presents an intangible characteristic. Often these claims are in the form of product opinions or lifestyle claims, leaving clinicians/patients to misinterpret the opinion as an objective product evaluation.
False	A claim that is objectively false either due to lack of evidence to support it or contradicting available evidence.
