NakedCalorie research team

The NakedCalorie research team writes and maintains this knowledge base. Articles on food quality, ingredients, and additives are grounded in primary sources — peer-reviewed cohort studies, regulatory reviews (FDA, EFSA, JECFA), and the NOVA framework as published by Carlos Monteiro and colleagues at the University of São Paulo.

Editorial rules: cite the source, name the study author and journal, report both the finding and the strength of the evidence, and never deliver a verdict on a food. The house tone is the same one the in-app coach follows — non-judgmental, specific, useful.
