http://authoritynutrition.com/  A great website which tries to dispel myths about diets and nutrition.  Many websites and references on the EVIDENCE page to research different topics regarding human nutrition.  The author of this page is Kris Gunnars, a medical student from Iceland.

He says: "The main goal of this site is to search the scientific literature for true answers, preferably from randomized controlled trials which are the gold standard of research.

Then the scientific jargon is deciphered to make it understandable by professionals and laypeople alike. Every effort is made to be objective, unbiased, honest and to present both sides of the argument."
