How It Works:

DietNerd answers diet and nutrition-related questions by leveraging peer-reviewed research sourced from PubMed. We invite you to ask questions on various topics, including dietary strategies, nutrition science, and diet-related health outcomes. The system will provide live updates as it processes for you to follow along. Once generated, the output presents users with a comprehensive response alongside in-depth article analyses that is built off full-text articles, when available. By clicking through these article summaries, you will be able to quickly grasp key attributes of each study and access the original articles in PubMed for increased transparency.
