“La Agencia Europea de Seguridad Alimentaria también corregirá el informe sobre menopausia con datos de hombres”
About
A Spanish food safety agency report giving menopause nutrition advice built on studies done in men, and the corrections that followed. AESAN has already conceded part of it; the right-hand column is open for both agencies.

- 5 still standing: unanswered, or the outlet was right
Article score: 10.0/10
Every sentence starts counting for the article, because unanswered is how it was published. Answering it takes the point off the outlet and gives it to the person named. Green means answered, not proven: what an editor has checked against a document is written in each sentence's own label.

What the other side says
What the outlet published · Sentence 1
“La máxima autoridad europea en materia de nutrición también corregirá el informe de la Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición (AESAN) con recomendaciones para la menopausia a partir de datos obtenidos en hombres[.]”
Translation · ES
Europe's highest nutrition authority will also correct the report by the Spanish Food Safety and Nutrition Agency (AESAN) giving menopause recommendations based on data obtained in men.
What this claims, in our words
THE CORRECTION: the European agency joins the Spanish one in correcting the report. That two bodies are correcting it is itself the news.
What the outlet published · Sentence 2
“En dicho informe, según denunció la AMIT, los datos sobre la ingesta de hierro o vitamina C se basan en estudios realizados solo en hombres.”
Translation · ES
In that report, according to AMIT's complaint, the data on iron and vitamin C intake are based on studies carried out only in men.
What this claims, in our words
THE SPECIFIC DEFECT ALLEGED: iron and vitamin C intake figures taken from male-only studies, in guidance written for women at menopause. Named by the researchers' association AMIT.
What the outlet published · Sentence 3
“Tras la denuncia, la AESAN admitió a elDiario.es que en algunos casos se han basado en resultados limitados y no específicos de mujeres y anunció que se añadirá una nota aclaratoria y se ha hablado con la EFSA para modificar la traducción al inglés que se hizo de su informe.”
Translation · ES
After the complaint, AESAN admitted to elDiario.es that in some cases they relied on limited results that were not specific to women, and announced that a clarifying note would be added and that EFSA had been approached to change the English translation of its report.
What this claims, in our words
WHAT THE AGENCY CONCEDED: AESAN admits the data were not women-specific. This is an admission on the record, not an inference by the outlet.
What the outlet published · Sentence 4
“"Los organismos de los Estados miembros son responsables del contenido", apunta la EFSA.”
Translation · ES
"Member State bodies are responsible for the content", EFSA notes.
What this claims, in our words
WHERE EFSA PLACES RESPONSIBILITY: on the national agency, not on itself. Two public bodies pointing at each other is a fact the reader should see.
What the outlet published · Sentence 5
“[E]l informe de AESAN no advierte de que se basan en datos obtenidos de los estudios realizados con hombres, lo cual puede engañar a las mujeres que buscan recomendaciones alimentarias para la menopausia.”
Translation · ES
[T]he AESAN report does not warn that they are based on data from studies carried out in men, which may mislead women looking for dietary recommendations for the menopause.
What this claims, in our words
THE HARM ALLEGED: not the male data alone, but publishing it without the warning EFSA's own studies carry. The word used is "mislead", and it is AMIT's word.
Is this about you?
The right-hand column is yours, sentence by sentence. Nobody edits what you write, and nobody else can fill it in for you. First prove you are who you say you are — a document check that takes two minutes, a work email, or paperwork a person on our team reads.
Your reply is published unedited and next to the sentence it answers. We do not shorten it and we do not comment on it.
Published unedited and sealed with a timestamp. A reply can be corrected later; every earlier version stays public.
