This is fantastic.

One "future vision" if I may -- actually tracking, sharing, recommending, etc. nutrition research. I think one of the most painful things for everyone interested in nutrition is actually knowing what the research says about what they need to eat, when, how, etc.

"Future vision squared" would be to personalize nutrition recommendations / advice to each person, but I'm dreaming.



for nutrition research I think http://examine.com is a pretty good resource


Woah, haven't heard of them before. Thank you!


actually, this was what I wanted to mention as well. Examine has all the right talent in nutrition.... openfoodfacts has the technical talent.

you guys should find a way to collaborate ... or even power the next gen Examine


That's us! Thanks for the kind words :)


Hello SoloX5. Open Food Facts contributor here. I absolutely love examine.com. Would any of your data be reusable under some open license or is it a strictly proprietary database?


Honestly - we've been meaning to release an API once we get our new backend out. Of course that's been the hiccup - it's been almost ready for far too long :)

Ping me via www.examine.com/contact/ and lets see if we can make it happen.
