nutritionfacts.org is vegan propaganda and shouldn't be confused with a good source.

Nutritional science is hard and we have very limited ability to actually study it and make strong recommendations. Cherry-picking phrases and results from limited power studies just muddies the waters.

Here's the founder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Greger

> In his lectures, videos, and writings about nutrition he tries to persuade people to change their eating habits from a Western pattern diet to a whole foods, plant-based, healthy diet—optimally to vegan diet—and says that such a diet can prevent and reverse many chronic diseases.

> Retired physician Harriet A. Hall ... has written that ... Greger often overstates the known benefits of such a diet as well as the harm caused by eating animal products (for example, in a talk he claimed that a single meal rich in animal products can "cripple" one's arteries), and he sometimes does not discuss evidence that contradicts his strong claims.

"Disastrous" is clearly a gross overstatement.

Would love to see a better source.

- Nutritionfacts.org is non-profit - Their conclusions are based on studies. - They're not trying to sell supplements or food products.

Do they omit certain studies that contradict their overall conclusions? Sure. That doesn't mean anything to me.

IMO: Your website is trying to sell a lifestyle. Their conclusions are made in advance; then they attempt to rationalize them with studies after the fact.

That is a major red flag in science reporting.

Cherry-picking doesn't mean anything to you?
