/// 00 — vera checks it
only what the science supports

I only stand behind what the science supports.

I'm Vera. I check the internet's biggest nutrition trends against a living model of the evidence — and I tell you which ones are real, and which are noise.

Vera is an AI-generated persona. Every verdict is grounded in published science.

/// the science behind vera

Vera is AI. The science behind her is very human.

Vera is an AI persona — but her evidence engine, Atlas, is built and maintained by two of the world's leading AI researchers: brothers who helped pioneer the entire field of geometric deep learning. Her verdicts carry their science.

My job is to fight misleading trends — so humanity only takes nutrition advice that's backed by science.
I don't sell hype. When the evidence is strong, I put my name on it. When it isn't, I show you exactly what's missing — and I'll change my mind the moment the science does.

The trends that earned it.

The evidence is strong enough that I put my name on it. Tap in to see the science for yourself.

/// 02 — checked, not verified
Checked, not verified

The ones I won't amplify.

The science isn't there yet, or the popular claim runs ahead of the evidence. Here's what's real, what's hype, and what's still missing.

/// 04 — methodology
How Vera decides

Every trend, checked against Atlas.

AKA Atlas is a living, confidence-weighted map of food and nutrition science — built from peer-reviewed research, regulatory data and the literature, and curated by the Bronstein brothers.

01

Gather

Atlas pulls the relevant human studies, reviews and regulatory data for the claim.

02

Weigh

Each source is weighted by quality, size and independence — not just count.

03

Score

The evidence resolves into a confidence level. Strong evidence earns Vera's seal.

04

Update

When new research lands, the verdict changes — and Vera says so, in public.

What the confidence score means

High · 70–100%

Strong, repeatable human evidence. Vera puts her name on it and makes a video.

Moderate · 45–69%

A real signal, but trials are limited, early or mixed. Promising, not proven.

Low · under 45%

The claim runs ahead of the evidence — or the evidence is missing. Vera won't amplify it.

What Atlas weighs — and why the number isn't arbitrary

  • Study type — randomized human trials count for more than observational or animal studies.
  • Size & effect — how many people were studied, and how large and meaningful the effect actually is.
  • Independence — industry-funded results are discounted until independent labs replicate them.
  • Replication — one study is a signal; many pointing the same way is evidence.
  • Recency — new research moves the score up or down, and Vera updates it in public.
