#2NIH has some good resources [1]; also the Mayo clinic [2]. Finally, examine.com [3] has lots of information on a whole bunch of supplements, vitamins, etc.

+1 for examine.com, they collate and simplify studies to the point where you don't need any related scientific knowledge to grok them, and provide dimensions that help you to understand the trustworthiness of the result, and the strength of the effect.

#5https://www.naturopathy-uk.com/ has some links however the actual sylubus pretty comprehensive course, and tends to look at aspects of curriculum not covered by traditional (and reductionalistically broken) alopathic medicine.
Patrick Holford is considered by many as a goto know all for holistic nutrition https://www.patrickholford.com/

#8https://nutritionfacts.org/ Is a great resource (and nonprofit) where Dr Greger reviews all the latest scientific studies about nutrition, and then summarizes them in videos. They also post to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/NutritionFactsOrg
Spoiler alert: all of the videos can be summed up by: "eat a whole food, plant based diet".
As a general note though - nutrition as a science is _hard_, because everyone responds slightly differently to the same foods in unexpected ways, and it's really hard to do double blind, controlled trials over a long period of time (they cost too much, or are just unfeasible). So I think the best approach is to read/watch a lot of different content from different sources, in order to gain a wide understanding of the current research.

#10Not quite what you're looking for, but this SciShow episode [1] tries to explain why so many studies seem to contradict each other. tl;dr they usually study different things, and studies on humans are very difficult to control.
