What this section is for
The part of food writing where the claims get loosest. A nutrient is named, a study is waved at, and nobody says how big the effect was or who paid for it.

Nothing here is medical advice. If you have a condition or are changing your diet seriously, speak to your GP or a registered dietitian.
