Preface

The goal of this handbook is to educate readers on nutrition and empower them to make nutritious choices. To ensure this, we have gone through various scientific literature including research papers, reviews and textbooks to curate factual information.

We have also kept the language as simple as a child would expect it to be and understand. We have also used as less of scientific jargon as possible, and provided only as much scientific information as you would need to understand the subject, eat well and live a healthy life. Nothing more.

Although we have used scientific literature to build this handbook, we could be victims of cognitive bias. If anything in this handbook is scientifically inaccurate, please do let us know by contacting us using any of these channels. We would be grateful.

This handbook is written for the reader in you; not for the skimmer in you. Nor is it written for the search engines or Internet bots. Every line we have written is significant, and to grasp the significance, you must read.

Hoping that this handbook is of some benefit to you. Good luck.
