What it does

A food label, finally legible.

🥄

Teaspoons, not grams

Nutrition panels hide the truth in numbers. The Edge translates a food's real blood-sugar impact into something you can see: teaspoons of sugar — including the hit from starch, not just the sweet stuff.

🚦

One honest verdict

No scores out of 100, no judgement. Every food gets a single clear colour — a solid choice, fine with one tweak, or limit this one — so a real problem is never hidden behind an average.

🔁

One smart swap

Not a lecture — a single, doable upgrade. Keep the meal you love and change the one thing that moves the needle most.

📚

700+ foods, growing daily

From dal and khichdi to flat whites and meal-deal sandwiches — search it, browse by cuisine, or type a label in. Every food shows its sources.

How it works

Three seconds from "what's this?" to knowing.

Type it or search it

Search any food or full meal in plain English — no photo, no faff. Anything not yet in the directory, type the nutrition label in by hand.

The evidence engine scores it

A deterministic, evidence-based engine does the scoring — not AI guesswork. The same food gets the same answer, every single time, with its working shown.

Verdict, teaspoons, swap

One colour, the teaspoons of sugar, and the single highest-leverage swap. Tap the swap to score it instantly.

Why you can trust it

Built on published evidence.
Designed by a physician.

Every threshold in the scoring engine is anchored to an established public-health framework — nothing is invented, and every result shows its sources and its working.
