Nutrition As I Know It
This website has excellent resources to find evidence-based health information and avoid pseudoscience. Good pages to consult are Nutrition Sources You Can Trust and Nutrition Sources You Should Avoid.
Nutrition Wonk
This is an impressive website/blog run by Katherine Docimo Pett, a master’s degree candidate in biochemical and molecular nutrition at Tufts University. Katherine describes the site aptly, as follows: This is a site for the folks who love nutrition as much as they love food. Nutrition Wonk gets into the weeds of nutrition science, old and new, to examine protocols, outcomes, and historical contexts for nutrition claims. Nutrition professionals so often need to simplify nutrition science to bullet points. At Nutrition Wonk, we do the opposite. It’s a site for people who ask, “but why?” and want to know how the mouse study gets made.
Science-Based Medicine
This website is a good place to visit if you’re wondering if a medical treatment is based in good science, or the science behind a controversial health or nutrition issues (e.g., saturated fats). Steven Novella, MD is the the founder and executive director of Science-Based Medicine, and a frequent author of the website articles.
Science of Nutrition
This blog is quite the find for anyone looking for detailed critiques of popular diet books, namely those proclaiming that a low carb high fat diet is necessary for good health. Seth Yoder (MS in Nutrition Science) operates the blog, and has conducted the arduous task of not only reading the pseudoscience of Gary Taubes and Nina Teicholz, but fact checking everything. His work reveals just how badly Taubes and Teicholz twist the science to fit their narratives. If you have any low-carb/high fat devotees – send the here! Here are links to his critiques of Good Calories/Bad Calories and Big Fat Surprise (Part 1, Part 2).
