Nutrient density
Which nutrients and specialised plant compounds are present in the actual food material.
S3 · Whole-food control
The whole material is more than a list of compounds.
Nutrient density, interactions and possible synergy must be interpreted inside the complete food matrix.
Control layer · product-level meaningBasic structure
Composition is necessary. It is not sufficient.
A food contains interacting proteins, fibres, minerals, lipids, plant metabolites and physical structures.
S3 asks what the complete material contains and how its components may work together—without assuming synergy before it is tested.
01
Measure the complete food material rather than selecting one attractive compound.
02
Consider dilution, additivity, antagonism and synergy as different possibilities.
03
Compare ingredients individually and in the finished mixture.
04
Keep nutrient density connected to realistic portions and use.
05
Treat whole-food language as a scientific responsibility, not a marketing shortcut.
Page architecture
What the deep version will contain.
This is the structural layer. Paper-level evidence and references will be added only after the architecture is approved.
Nutrient interaction
How components may influence stability, release, conversion or one another's biological roles.
Synergy
A possibility that requires comparison data—not an effect that can be assumed from mixture alone.
Scientific boundary
S3 keeps Only Plants focused on the complete food while refusing to turn 'whole food' or 'synergy' into unsupported proof of a health effect.
