Dark Matter of Nutrition:

26,000 chemical compounds in food

most of them are neither quantified or studied in depth

Many of these food chemicals could play a fundamental role in health

Example of garlic:

contains more than 2,300 chemical compounds

databases only record a small fraction of these

We Know that, many have documented health effects, yet they remain invisible to conventional nutritional science

The steps it follows are:

1. Collection of scientific studies2. Filtering with artificial intelligence3. Manual data extraction
