Funny you should say that after today's FDA announcement. (Not taking any side here just interested in how we determine what is a consensus these days)

It's hard, because when an issue becomes politicized everyone has their own preferred "consensus". I would say it should come from the scientific community, not government agencies. Sometimes government agencies agree with the scientific consensus, but not always.

My go-to source for nutrition information is Understanding Nutrition by Whitney and Rolfes.
