They are sales oriented, but they often give biochemical arguments for their products. Just a good browze, but has a half decent search, I think.http://www.papanature.com/store/ProductsList.aspx?c=Herbs&cid=health
Another sales oriented site, but they link to a variety of health encylopedia sites.http://www.anyvitamins.com/vitamin-info.htm
Yet another vendor, with a decent reference section.http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/index.html
Linus Pauling invented megavitamin therapy (more or less). They carry on, in his name.http://jn.nutrition.org/
This journal requires subscription for some articles, but a goodly number are full-text to the public.http://lab.nap.edu/
Full-text books, online. If your search terms are specific nutrients, it will pull up books that discuss how they calculated the RDA, and why, etc.http://www.thorne.com/index/mod/amr/a/amr_backissues
http://www.thorne.com/alternative/back.html
Thorne research publishes Alternative Med Review, and you can read some very detailed articles about specific nutrients, by browsing through back issues. You have to log in?, so it's a tiny hassle, to get started.http://web.archive.org/web/20031119104251/http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~ah/food/
Food composition data, the *old* USDA database, which was way way better, collated by a buddy at Princeton. This is an archive page, so you can't search other than what's right here.http://www.ars.usda.gov/main/site_main.htm?modecode=12-35-50-00
The new USDA site. <shrug>http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsLookups/Depletions.html
What drugs do to you. What they deplete.http://fermat.nap.edu/html/fcc/
Food additive monographshttp://nasw.org/mem-maint/awards/01Taubesarticle1.html
I just think everyone should read Taubes.Lar
P.S. Thanks for asking. I forgot I had some of those links. I didn't even check everywhere yet. Links. Links. Links all over the place.
