Paradox Files
Investigations into events where the documented facts refuse to align. We scrutinise broken timelines and highlight direct conflicts within the official paperwork. The objective is to identify the precise moment the accepted historical account stops making logical sense.
Creatine Cognitive Research – Academic Disclosures and Consumer Marketing
Researchers disclosed financial ties to creatine manufacturers and supplement brands in academic papers. Those disclosures are not fully reproduced on reviewed consumer pages carrying cognitive claims.
The Creatine Vegetarian Gap – From Scientific Research to Marketing Claims
Early creatine trials reported cognitive benefits, but later studies produced mixed or null results. In 2024, UK and EU regulators found the evidence insufficient for the proposed health claim.
The Border Wars – Did Devon Invent the Cornish Pasty?
The law says a pasty must be Cornish. A 1510 ledger from Plymouth disagrees. We audit the medieval records that challenge the £300m PGI monopoly.
The Cornish Pasty Claim About an Arsenic Handle
The legend claims the crimp was a disposable handle against arsenic. However, archival photos show miners using ‘crib bags’ instead. We test this theory against estimated daily energy needs to see if the story is history or fakelore.
Cornish Pasty – The Ingredient Audit
The law insists on beef, yet 1862 wage logs prove the miner could not afford it. We audit the ‘pig economy’ to reveal how the PGI protects an upmarket feast rather than the working-class reality.
The Missing Outcome Data for UK’s Saviour Siblings
For two decades, the UK's fertility regulator has approved 'saviour sibling' procedures without collecting any long-term data on the children's well-being or the treatment's true success rate. Our investigation reveals an evidence void at the system's core.
How UK Saviour Sibling Policy Was Forged by Contradiction
In 2002, the UK’s fertility regulator refused one family a ‘saviour sibling’, setting a firm ethical principle. Two years later, it quietly reversed that principle for a near-identical case, creating the inconsistent foundation of today’s law.
Labour Party Policy Pipeline – The Fabian Society Timeline Conflict
Labour's 2023 policy consultation closed before the Fabian Society published its National Care Service proposals. Elements of those proposals subsequently appeared in the party's final policy platform.
Phantom Laboratories in Space Medicine – Data Discrepancies Found
An investigation into long-duration space medicine papers reveals duplicated clinical datasets, impossible calculations, and institutional research bases that could not be verified as the facilities described.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area: An Analysis of Land Use and Exclusion Policies
A 2026 Tanzanian presidential commission on Ngorongoro reused the 2019 ministry's growth rate and extinction list. The 2022 national census shows different figures. One official signed both reports.
