I love this site primarily because it’s the opposite of the ones I avoid or hate. It’s clean, organized, supported by research (they include their sources without asking you to trust them blindly), and free of judgment

Better than COSDna for comprehensive ingredients list AND easier to read - in layman's terms too.
