Editorial policy

Last updated: 26 October 2026

What we publish

Plant-based, alkaline-style recipes, food lists, meal plans and grocery guides. Guides open with a short answer and list their sources at the end.

Sources we use

USDA FoodData Central and MyPlate, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheets, FoodSafety.gov, and peer-reviewed research found through PubMed. We do not use testimonials or brand marketing as evidence.

No health claims

We don't say any food, recipe or diet treats, cures, prevents or reverses a disease, "detoxes" the body or changes blood pH. Where popular claims about the alkaline diet aren't supported, we say so.

Recipes

Recipes are developed from standard techniques and measurements. They are not kitchen-tested, and we don't describe them as tested. Star ratings, when shown, come only from readers of this site. Nutrition figures, when shown, are estimates and say where they came from.

Who writes it

Michael Gonzales, Founder & Editor, edits each page before it goes live. Articles are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools. No doctor or dietitian reviews our pages, so nothing here is medical advice. Talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before changing how you eat, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or have a health condition.
