https://nutritionfacts.org/ https://nutritionfacts.org/ Led by Dr. Greger, a real MD who has dedicated his life to nutrition science and informing the public. He unobtrusively charges for early access to content that is released for free a month or two after and accepts donations. He does not sell/brand/endorse any products except a couple books he wrote. The videos are very detailed, directly covering the scientific papers. He cites all references.

I did some research into Dr. Michael Greger and my determination is that he seems like a vegan quack (and I have nothing against vegans or vegetarians, I was one for 14 years). There have been a handful of takedowns posted about this guy on Reddit. Not saying all of his info is bad, but he certainly comes off like a shill for veganism. Even his site NutritionFacts.org used to be called the "Vegan Research Institute". There are more balanced sources out there I'd say. EDIT: Just found this little write up. I'm not familiar with this source so take it with a grain of salt, but it says a lot of the same stuff I am reading about him elsewhere: https://humanewatch.org/hsus_doc_exposed_as_schlock/ https://humanewatch.org/hsus_doc_exposed_as_schlock/

  I would just like to point out that humanewatch.org is funded by Center for Consumer Freedom, who is funded by restaurants, food companies, and farmers. This is the same organization that had campaigns in support of smoking cigarettes

    Good to know, thanks for pointing that out.

  His interpretation of the vast literature he has read leads him to recommend a whole-food, plant-based diet. That's vegan, but so is beer and oreos, so there's a distinction. I'm certain Dr. Greger is wrong about some things, just like literally everyone. What's important to me is that he has few conflicts of interest, communicates fairly well, and is grounded firmly in the science. I strongly encourage readers to dig into one subject they are interested in. Hear what each side says. Read ALL the papers. Note the funding of the research. Figure out who is presenting the research the best.
