A landmark 2019 feeding trial helps explain why food context matters. It does not tell you how many calories a packet adds to your day.
Read the archive →These are educational explainers, drafted with AI assistance and checked against linked sources. They are not clinically reviewed. We combine complementary studies from 2010 onward to answer useful everyday questions. Publication date and data-collection date are different: recent papers can analyse older data. We include uncertain and null findings, not just exciting positive results.
