Reading responsibly

Health information is most useful when it is specific about uncertainty. We distinguish established dietary guidance from early research, describe reasonable portions rather than promising outcomes, and encourage readers to consider allergies, medicines and existing conditions with a qualified professional.

Look for context

One ingredient rarely explains a whole health outcome. Patterns, preparation, quantities and the rest of a person’s life all matter.

Keep agency

Use our ideas as prompts for reflection, not as instructions to ignore symptoms or change prescribed care.
