What the Journal is for
Health writing is full of claims that sound scientific and aren't. We read the ingredient labels and the underlying studies, then explain what they mean in plain English, so you can make decisions without a chemistry degree.
- Every article is written by a nutritionist, in plain English
- Doses, forms and evidence quality, not just ingredient names
- Corrections are published, not quietly fixed. Our editorial standards
