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?
