We cite sources so readers can verify claims — not to pretend every article is a systematic review.
Preferred sources
- Food regulators and standards bodies (e.g. FSSAI, FDA).
- Public-health agencies (e.g. WHO, CDC, national nutrition guidance).
- Peer-reviewed research and reputable academic summaries.
- Manufacturer labels when discussing a specific pack (when available).
On each article
Articles include a Sources section listing key citations used. Secondary media may be used to explain why a topic is in the news, but guidance still rests on primary evidence where possible.
