We started this section because the conversation about food & nutrition had become unbearable — too loud, too certain, too often selling something. The boring middle — what the evidence actually supports, repeated across decades, written without a brand to defend — is not a position you can monetize, but it is the position the research keeps quietly settling on.

A note on evidence

A claim about food & nutrition is not a study. A study is not a meta-analysis. A meta-analysis is not a guideline. The article doesn't fit on a label.
