Peer-Reviewed Research

We prioritize studies published in peer-reviewed medical and nutritional journals such as the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Circulation, and the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Each source undergoes independent expert review before publication.

Government & Health Agencies

We reference authoritative bodies including the World Health Organization (WHO), European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Spanish Ministry of Health, and National Institutes of Health. These organizations publish evidence-based dietary guidelines and recommendations.

Industry & Academic Experts

Our editorial team consults with registered dietitians, certified nutritionists, and cardiovascular specialists. Expert contributors hold recognized credentials and maintain active involvement in nutritional science and cardiovascular health research.
